About this listen
Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages.
This book is the culmination of his life's work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward in their approach, yet profound in their effect, these principles teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work. Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. Being thoughtful about ordinary matters provides spouses with a solid foundation for resolving conflict when it does occur and finding strategies for living with those issues that cannot be resolved.
The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This book reminded me to go back to basic
The content reminds me of all the little things you use to do but have ignored as life and marriage gets more complicated. I found the American way of speaking hard to apply as an Aussie. The principles that were provided I found very useful tools.

y'all need the physical or Ebook as well.
I feel like it should be a cultural norm to hand this book to young adults. heck, hand it to your bestie, sibling, cuzzies and mates.
so much of this is transferable beyond a typical "couple" relationship and is awesome for significant friendships and famillial relationships too. y'all need the physical or Ebook to do the homework components unless your gonna sit together aroud a speaker and answer the quizzes.

Good relationship advice
Useful advice that can be applied to all relationships. Bit difficult to follow just with audio. Would be useful to have hard copies of the activities to work through.

Immensely practical insights on the way people function!
I liked the ease of listening. The guides and question lists. The way the concepts are distilled into easy categories.
