The leading American relationship expert, John M. Gottman, revolutionized the study of marriage by using scientific methods to observe the habits of married couples. Before you is the culmination of his life’s work: seven principles that help couples achieve a harmonious, long-term relationship. Clearly explained and accompanied by practical questionnaires and exercises, these principles teach partners new approaches to resolving conflicts, creating a common language, and achieving a higher level of intimacy.

Gottman offers concrete strategies that will help couples more effectively solve every problem, from sex and money to work stress and family concerns. Since its first publication in 1999, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work” has become a global phenomenon, selling over a million copies.
