Product Description:
If You Love Your Mate but Your Marriage Seems to Be Off Track, Then This Book Is for You
Psychologist John Gottman has spent 20 years studying what makes a marriage last. Now you can use his tested methods to 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:
* 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
* Wives who make sour facial expressions when their husbands talk are likely to be separated within four years
* There is a reason husbands withdraw from arguments -- and there's a way around it
Dr. Gottman tells 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.

I highly recommend this book to those ... Read More

In this particular book he focuses on three marriage styles: validating, volatile and avoidant. In each case he explains the strengths and weaknesses and what happens to each marriage as it spirals downward. ... Read More

I commend the author who has turned his scientific research of the precursors of divorce into a helpful volume for popular reading.
Some points I would add to previous reviews are these. Since it is scientifically based the author's strength is not in "playing the blame game." This makes it possible for couples to discuss the concepts without feeling threatened. Couples are recognized as having their own styles of communication, volatile, validating or avoidant. If both partners are happy ... Read More

I wish I had this book decades ago and it would have saved me a lot of grief. This is great advice on marriage or any long term relationship.
