John Gottman’s unprecedented study of couples over a period of years has allowed him to observe the habits that can make—and break—a marriage. Here is the culmination of that work: the seven principles that guide couples on a path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward yet profound, these principles teach partners new approaches for resolving conflicts, creating new common ground, and achieving greater levels of intimacy. Gottman offers strategies and resources to help couples collaborate more effectively to resolve any problem, whether dealing with issues related to sex, money, religion, work, family, or anything else. Packed with new exercises and the latest research out of the esteemed Gottman Institute, this revised edition of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential. Review: Great book! - Great book for rough patches and relationships. I’ve been going through it a little bit so far and it’s been very helpful. I definitely recommend it for people going through similar situations in spots in their life. Review: Amazing book for anyone interested in marriage and long relationships - Wow! Absolutely loved this book I must say. When I got this book, I wasnt sure Id love it. I know many people recommended it but after reading the negative reviews I was a tiny bit hesitant. But I am so GLAD I bit the bullet. I recommend this for anyone interested in having a long lasting relationship and many years of a beautiful marriage, either one you are currently in or one you want in the future. These truly do seem the keys to make most marriages last for sure. Even the ways conflict is handled is EXACTLY what I been asking for and EXACTLY what I wanted to see. This is the way conflict should be handled. Another pro: the book exercises are very helpful. After reading the questions and surveys I found them extremely helpful in identifying the core issues or positives in a marriage. People don't realize you are A TEAM when you are married. Its YOU 2 first, and this book preaches that. Also the 7 principles themselves I found to be very true and reading the studies as examples were quite helpful. I also appreciate how the book provides practical examples and tips on HOW to bring up certain topics, what to say, what to do in certain marital situations. The only complaint I have about this book is it doesnt seem to go into too much when to truly call it quits in a marriage. I absolutely agree that in most cases people call it quits far too early and people end what could have been such a beautiful thing for silly reasons that can be resolved or learn to co-exist peacefully, but I will say in some fairly rare situations there are times where a marriage simply wont work. I wish the book delved into that a bit more of what are the signs that your marriage really needs to end. But I would say that is a fairly rare case and again MOST of the time it can be improved with many of the exercises and points made in the book My other gripe is that the pages are so thin that it doesnt withstand the wrath of my highlighter! I wish it was a tiny bit thicker because I have to be very gentle with how I highlight so it doesnt bleed through... and trust me, I highlighted A TON in this book.

So helpful ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Transformational and Practical Marriage Text *by J***O on March 13, 2026* I picked up this book after hearing John and Julie Gottman on a podcast. I was so impressed with their approach to counseling and the words of marital wisdom, I had to pick up this book. I devoured every chapter and have learned so much. It's going to be a re-read several times into my future! I talked about the concepts and discoveries in this book so much, my husband became intrigued, and it sparked many long conversations at dinner. We even decided to set a marriage retreat for ourselves this past year, and used many of the quizzes and questions in the book to guide us. After our weekend, my husband and I both thought the conversations we had due to this book were some of the best and deepest in our marriage. This has now become a must-needed road-trip companion for us any time we're in the car. Thank you to John Gottman and Nan Silver for such a transformational marriage book! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: A Practical Guide from the Country's Foremost Relationship Expert - Workbook: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work: An Implementation Guide to John Gottman’s Book: A Practical Guide from The Country's Foremost Relationship Expert - Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14361201-the-seven-principles-for-making-marriage-work-a-practical-guide](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/14361201-the-seven-principles-for-making-marriage-work-a-practical-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-07-09*
