" This author was recommended to me by a colleague. I hope that it contains useful information that I can share with my clients and apply in my marriage. "

" This book is amazing so far. Lots of exercises though. Taking a while to get through it. "

" A great book about relationships and keeping yours healthy. Gottman has done some wonderful research on marriage, also has researched and written about empathy/emotional health. "

" I thought this was a great book--every married couple should read it! Great suggestions and some cute little activities that would be great for FHE. :) "

" A practical guide with realistic tools for building a healthy marriage. Most likely- I'll revisit it from time to time. "

" Anyone who is interested in sustaining a long-term relationship should know about the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" and what is substantive in actual working relationships. Gottman's field research is compelling and simple. "

" Skip the introductory chapter....Gottman is a bit pompous there. But when he gets to the meat of the material he has good humor, good ideas, and lots of exercises. "

" Good concepts but I wish he addressed pathology more. "

" A revolutionary work based on 25+ years of research, this book should be a must-read for every married couple. "

" My favorite book to recommend to the couples I work with. I particularly like to recommend it for marriage preparation work. "

" We had to read this as part of our premarriage counseling, and I thought it was actually pretty insightful. "

" A great self help guide, but if you're looking to save your marriage - the other party needs to read it to. "

" Excellent book to use in couples counseling. "

" In the book he has a list of questions for a husband and wife to get to know each other better. It made for a great date. "

" I got some good advice from this book. "

" Gottman is Jewish and therefore is without he indwelling of the Holy Spirit as he writes. Outside of that, he offers some truly timeless principles and wisdom for all married folks. Possibly, this could be atop a list of Must Reads for engaged couples. "

" One of the best self help books I've ever read. Marriage can be a minefield of arguments and blame. This book is a roadmap to treating partner with the care & respect, generating good will and love. "

" Everyone should have to read. Easy! Fast read! Great resource! "

" Someone "accidentally" left this at my house, and it's a really good book! "

" Trying to read more non-fiction. I thought this was an interesting book, especially when he talked about how he could tell if a marriage was going to survive by listening to a few minutes of the spouses' conversation. Had some great suggestions too. "

" I think this was a very good and helpful book for any couple. On how to better communicate or how to make certain issues in your marriage work for both of you. Thnx Miriam for the recommendation "

" Highly recommended. This book teaches all of us practical relationship rules. "
