The revolutionary guide to show couples how to create an emotionally intelligent relationship - and keep it on track.

Straightforward in its approach, yet profound in its effect, the principles outlined in this book teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work.

Gottman has scientifically analysed the habits of married couples and established a method of correcting the behaviour that puts thousands of marriages on the rocks. He 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.

Packed with questionnaires and exercises whose effectiveness has been proven in Dr Gottman's workshops, this is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential.

External Reviews

"I think there is a great deal of wisdom to be found in this book and the exercises provided by Gottman are genuinely helpful. If you’re willing to put in the time, this book will certainly be helpful for you in your marriage."

"My partner and I were able to transform our relationship into a happy, harmonious partnership by working through this book together. It opened our communication lines and taught us to work through our conflicts as a team while also respecting our differences. It brought us back from the brink of ruining our future together and now we use it as a refresher if we start losing touch. The exercises were fun and delivered on their promised goals. The book was well paced and easy to read." - Amazon Reviews.

"Astonishing new research" - Woman's World.

"Gottman stays refreshingly down-to-earth . . ." - American Way.

"My favourite quote in the whole book: “Working briefly on your marriage every day will do more for your health and longevity than working out at a health club” (p. 261). Overall, one of the better books I've seen on fostering a happy marriage." - Goodreads Review.
