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

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.

Summary: why marriages succeed or fail
Comment: this is a truly amazing book. it has had a profound affect on my marriage. for once, somebody tells you EXACTLY what the problems are and how to work around them. it is important to note that it is very science based and is not a bunch of esoteric feeling mumbo jumbo that men seem to have a particularly tough time understanding. i was "9 toes out the door" and this gave me hope to attempt to fix my marriage. it is a great read even if you have a perfectly healthy marriage as it will reinforce the things you do properly. read it!

Customer Rating:
Summary: An absolute must-read!

You can be in a budding relationship or one that may eventually lead to marriage. Whatever the case, there is something in this book you can learn and implement right away - to improve your relationship and make it one that will make you and your partner happy for years to come.
