What makes love last—and what quietly tears it apart? In The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, renowned relationship expert Dr. John Gottman distills decades of groundbreaking research into a practical, science-based guide for building lasting intimacy and connection.

This chapter-by-chapter summary captures Gottman's core discoveries about the behaviors that predict marital success or failure with startling accuracy. Alongside co-author Nan Silver, Gottman outlines seven essential principles—from nurturing fondness and admiration to managing conflict constructively—that help couples strengthen their bond and navigate challenges with greater empathy and understanding.

Whether you're newly married, in a long-term relationship, or simply looking to deepen your emotional connection, this summary provides clear takeaways and actionable tools drawn from the Gottman Institute's most influential research.
