The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (Revised Edition) by John M. Gottman and Nan Silver (Paperback)

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work presents the key findings of psychologist John Gottman's long-term research on couples, written with journalist Nan Silver. It describes seven principles the authors associate with stable, satisfying relationships, such as nurturing fondness and admiration and learning to manage conflicts that cannot be fully solved.

Each principle is explained with examples and followed by questionnaires and exercises that couples can work through together. This revised edition adds updated research and new exercises.

The book is suited to married and long-term couples, as well as readers preparing for marriage, who want practical tools for everyday communication and conflict.
