I'm really surprised with how much I liked this. We're getting married soon and I wanted to read some stuff to set an example to follow I guess even tho we're doing great lol. It was really easy to read and follow. I like the quizzes. It did point out some things that would be nice to implement.

Gottman explains the methods & results of his research on successful marriages well while provide practical steps for couples to improve their own relationships.

Don’t know if there’s a better or more practical book written on maintaining and strengthening a marriage relationship. It was a lot to take in at once, but it is a really great resource to have on hand and revisit.

- Some things are very obvious and I am concerned they needed to be written out
- Plays into some stereotypes about men & women
- Not LGBT+ representative
- Found the later principles more interesting than the first ones
