John Gottman is an award-winning speaker, author, and professor emeritus in psychology with a heavy focus on marriage and divorce. Gottman brings his unparalleled expertise to audiences in this Summary of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country’s Foremost Relationship Expert. It’s important to note that this version of the text is a summary of the original book, offering readers the key points while cutting out some extra materials.
According to Gottman, there are seven principles to maintaining a healthy relationship with your spouse. Here are a few of those principles:
- Principle One: Functioning couples have a richly detailed love map.
- Principle Two: If a couple has a fondness and admiration system, their marriage is salvageable.
- Principle Three: During brief and seemingly trivial chitchats, couples turn toward one another.
- Principle Four: Partners should let each other influence their decisions by taking each others’ opinions and feelings into account.
The seven principles aren’t just for people who are struggling with their marriage, they’re for anyone who wants to maintain a healthy relationship and a happy family. Using these principles, couples can identify weak points and work to improve them before they become a marriage-ending problem.
