The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is a highly influential book by Dr. John Gottman and Nan Silver. Based on decades of research at 'The Love Lab,' it outlines seven key principles that distinguish happy, stable relationships from unhappy ones, offering practical strategies for couples to improve communication, manage conflict, and build lasting intimacy.
One of my colleagues, my relationship research colleagues up in Washington, John Gottman, um, came up some years ago with what he called the four horsemen of the apocalypse, which are things that spell doom in a relationship.
""The speaker mentioned John Gottman and his concept of 'the four horsemen of the apocalypse,' which is a central theme in Gottman's work on relationship health. 'The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work' is his most famous book that elaborates on these concepts and provides actionable advice for couples, making it the most relevant book to the discussion."
