About this title: Dr. John Gottman surveyed over 2,000 couples to find out what made marriages succeed or fail, then recorded the results in this book, which should be on the shelf of any pair hoping to navigate the treacherous waters of long-term cohabitation.

"I read this book after a divorce and to be honest, I couldn't find either one of us in it. So I didn't give it much. It was mostly stories of people who failed and not that much information. I always thought that books full of stories (unless you buy it for a story book or life experience books) is just trying to be bigger by adding fluff. Indeed it takes up the space that could otherwise be taken with facts, statistics, and information.
Ah well. Scott Peck (The Road Less Traveled) had stories too but the information was phenomenal. I'd recommend him first."

"I've been wanting to read this book for a long time. I really, really liked it. Even though I failed every single test in it (uh oh), I love the practical advice and the hope that marriage can be stable and successful even with fighting and disagreements and complaining! I'll definitely read more Gottman."
