The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Mordechai Gottman, Nan Silver (1999, Hardcover)

Soooooooooo good, for marriage, counseling others, proven research good writing. In excellent condition, promptly sold to me.

This is one of the most concise books I have encountered about the most common problems that married couples find themselves. It cuts thru some of the current common ways that many well meaning mental health professionals keep people in the loop of returning over and over again for failed ideas. It promotes a level playing field where problems in marriage can be solved and if both sides in the marriage use the simple guidelines almost all issues can resolved to a "win win". Great job John Gottman! Art Carlson (retired Police Sgt.)

This is the best book written on how to make a marriage last. My husband and I went to counseling and our counselor used this book as a basis for our therapy. We have been married for 14 years and the book helped us deal with reoccuring problems. I wish we could have read this book before we got married. This is the BEST GIFT you could ever give an engaged couple. Also, if you know of someone who needs marital counseling, but cannnot afford it, this is like giving them $500 worth of counseling for the price of a book. A+++
