If you want to know what the research shows in terms of successful marriage, not just someone else's opinion, this is the book for you.
The Gottman?s have "done the work" and they have gained the respect of most all marriage therapists. I am amazed at how often they are quoted by other well known authors; but they have earned it. Having attended a "Gottman" conference I can attest that they are deeply committed to presenting substantiated data and are passionate about helping couples succeed.
