I can’t recommend this book enough! The Gottmans share some incredible insights that really help you understand conflict - both where you’re coming from and where your partner is coming from. They invite you to consider conflict styles, the needs of your partner, and yes, YOUR needs. Since I’ve read this book, it’s a lot easier to recognize the signs of an unhealthy conflict so you have the opportunity to turn the conversation around and find the road to repair. Excellent read!

That was fun! Real fun! Very creative way to view conflict in a relationship - specifically a marriage. The end goal is not "never fight" but instead to "Fight Right". Couples who "never fight" are worst of than couples who know how to fight right. Wow! Really enjoyed that concept. It also went a level deeper and gave some real, concrete ways of putting the theory into practice. Very glad I had to opportunity to read it. Great book!

Great book

Purchased this book looking to improve communication skills. Overall I thought this was a solid guide. I do wish more time would have been spent in the book talking about the skills recommended. It took awhile to get through the personal stories and background. It was helpful for setting the context but likely would have been just as beneficial and more efficient to present the skills with briefer context. Nice to hear about the authors' personal experience at times, but at times it overshadowed the main skills discussed. Would recommend if you are looking to improve communication overall, written by experts in the area.

I have read a lot of marriage books, but this is my favorite. I find the topics to be thoughtful and well-organized, with great questions to prompt discussion with your spouse. I love the use of statistical data to support the authors’ conclusions and the examples of real life application are helpful.

Great book. Real advice. Read 8 dates after this book 😉

I don’t know if this book has healing powers but as soon as I started reading it, the conflicts subsided and they took second place. Learning about the dynamics of “couple fighting” is extremely valuable insight and may have an immediate impact on your relationship. We have gone from endless arguments and volatility to enjoying each other, and this has given us a chance to explore the deeper issues, bringing about true healing. I would suggest to take your time, to reread, to write a journal, or even book a session.
