Editorial review of the book

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is a scientifically based, yet highly accessible guide for couples who want to deepen their connection, overcome conflict and build a strong, long-lasting relationship. Author Dr. John Gottman, one of the world's leading researchers on partner relationships, bases the book on decades of observations and data from his renowned "love lab."

In collaboration with Nan Silver, he reveals seven key principles that predict the success or failure of a marriage - from "know your partner" to "solve solvable problems" and "create shared meaning". Rather than empty promises or idealised romance, the book offers concrete tools, exercises and insights that couples can use to improve their communication, build trust and stay emotionally connected through difficult times.

Gottman's style is warm, clear and non-judgmental. It does not prescribe the "right" form of marriage, but helps partners understand their own dynamics and build a relationship based on respect, kindness and emotional intelligence.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is essential reading for anyone in a relationship - whether you want to save it, strengthen it or simply live it more consciously.
