About this ebook

From Scribd: About the Book

John Gottman is an award-winning speaker, author, and professor emeritus in psychology with a heavy focus on marriage and divorce. Gottman brings his unparalleled expertise to audiences in this Summary of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country’s Foremost Relationship Expert. It’s important to note that this version of the text is a summary of the original book, offering readers the key points while cutting out some extra materials.

According to Gottman, there are seven principles to maintaining a healthy relationship with your spouse. Here are a few of those principles:

  • Principle One: Functioning couples have a richly detailed love map.
  • Principle Two: If a couple has a fondness and admiration system, their marriage is salvageable.
  • Principle Three: During brief and seemingly trivial chitchats, couples turn toward one another.
  • Principle Four: Partners should let each other influence their decisions by taking each others’ opinions and feelings into account.

The seven principles aren’t just for people who are struggling with their marriage, they’re for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy relationship and a happy family. Using these principles, couples can identify weak points and work to improve them before they become a marriage-ending problem.

    Marriage is not all about love. It's support, friendship, respect, attention, care, and concern one has for the other. If you are going to marry, this book is for you to keep the connection and make married life happily.

    Read this book just when I was about to give up on my marriage. It turns out that there have been so many things I took for granted and this book helped me realize exactly what my husband and I have been doing right, what we've been doing wrong and what else we can do to strengthen the bond. This saved me from so much marital grief and frustration.

    The beauty of the book is that it provides excellent analysis and descriptions of both success and failure in marriage. Examples are quite realistic which you can relate to your life.

    Best book on marriage I've read so far, and I've read a lot on the topic. Haven't even finished the book yet, and my marriage is already much improved.

    It's in workbook style, so it takes some work if you read it as a couple, but if you're open minded and you make yourself vulnerable to your mate, it's worth the process!

    Great summary. While brief, it touched on the main points accurately and there was a lot to learn from. The author wrote this book well, and I can imagine how more valuable the actual book will be. Thanks there.
