Why Marriages Succeed or Fail: And How You Can Make Yours Last

Psychologist and bestselling author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work John Gottman shares his valuable insights from twenty years of studying how marriages last and details his tested methods so you can evaluate, strengthen, and maintain your own long-term relationship. This breakthrough book guides you through a series of self-tests designed to help you determine what kind of marriage you have, where your strengths and weaknesses are, and what specific actions you can take to help your marriage. You’ll also learn that more sex doesn’t necessarily improve a marriage, frequent arguing will not lead to divorce, financial problems do not always spell trouble in a relationship, and why husbands withdraw from arguments—and there’s a way around it. Dr. Gottman teaches you how to recognize attitudes that doom a marriage—contempt, criticism, defensiveness, and stonewalling—and provides practical exercises, quizzes, tips, and techniques that will help you understand and make the most of your relationship. You can avoid patterns that lead to divorce and Why Marriages Succeed or Fail will show you how.
