Product details
"The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" by John M. Gottman and Nan Silver is a landmark book based on over 40 years of rigorous research into what makes marriages succeed or fail. Gottman, a renowned psychologist, distilled his findings into seven actionable principles that couples can follow to build and maintain a strong, healthy, and lasting relationship.
Overview of the Seven Principles:
Enhance Your Love Maps:
This principle involves knowing your partner deeply—their worries, hopes, preferences, and life history. Building detailed "love maps" strengthens emotional connection and understanding.
Nurture Your Fondness and Admiration:
Maintaining a sense of respect and appreciation for your partner is foundational. Focusing on positive qualities and expressing admiration helps sustain affection and goodwill.
Turn Toward Each Other Instead of Away:
Couples should engage in small, everyday interactions that show care and attention. Turning toward bids for connection—whether verbal or nonverbal—builds intimacy and trust.
Let Your Partner Influence You:
Sharing power and being open to your partner’s opinions and feelings fosters mutual respect and cooperation. Gottman highlights the importance of men allowing themselves to be influenced by their wives.
Solve Your Solvable Problems:
Couples learn to manage conflicts that can be resolved through effective communication, compromise, and problem-solving techniques such as softened startup and physiological self-soothing.
Overcome Gridlock:
For perpetual or deeply rooted issues, the goal is not necessarily to solve but to understand underlying dreams and values, and to move from gridlock to dialogue and respect.
Create Shared Meaning:
Building a shared life with rituals, goals, and values gives the relationship purpose and a sense of unity beyond daily routines.
Additional Key Concepts:
The Four Horsemen:
Gottman identifies four destructive communication patterns that predict divorce: criticism, defensiveness, contempt (the strongest predictor), and stonewalling (emotional withdrawal). Couples are encouraged to recognize and minimize these behaviors.
Emotional Intelligence in Marriage:
The book emphasizes the role of emotional intelligence—understanding and managing emotions—in sustaining a healthy marriage.
Impact and Applications:
The principles are based on extensive empirical research involving over 700 couples observed in Gottman’s "Love Lab."
The book offers practical exercises, quizzes, and real-life examples to help couples apply the principles.
It has been widely adopted in relationship counseling, therapy, and education, and praised for its scientific foundation and actionable advice.
