5.0

By far, the BEST marriage and relationship book I have ever read. Levi and I are slowly working our way through the exercises together. Each one is challenging, deeply connecting, and actually helpful.

It's refreshing to read a book like this that is not simply a "one-size-fits-all magic solution." Rather, it's an evidence based approach with a lot of room for all kinds of people to apply basic principles in a way that suits their own personalities and family culture.

It's not a list of do's and don'ts. It's more a revealing of patterns that seem to hold up well over time in healthy marriages.

NOTE: It's a secular book. I believe that all truth is God's truth, and the truths found in this book are far closer to what the Bible actually says about marriage than pretty much any Christian book on the subject that I have read so far. It's freeing. Delightfully freeing.

Very practical and informative book, would recommend to any couple. It’s based on scientific research and when you work through the practical exercises, they work.

not 5 stars for readability, but 5 stars because I believe this advice would work.

Gottman geeft een snel overzicht van kenmerken die een ongezonde relatie blootleggen, en hoe je daaraan kunt werken als je die kenmerken herkent. Ik zocht eigenlijk antwoord op een specifieke vraag, maar die werd in dit boek niet zo beantwoord. Wel interessant om te weten hoe bepaalde kenmerken een glijdende schaal kunnen zijn naar een scheiding. En hoe je dat dus kunt voorkomen.
