John Mordechai Gottman, Nan Silver: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work (1999, Three Rivers Press) 3 stars

Review of 'The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

While this book provided me some insights, I feel it felt short of its promise. 

It starts off great with science but slowly delves into takes that are increasingly gendered. There's also an emphasis on religion that rubs me the wrong way.

If you're looking for a book that helps you build a 90s-style relationship, this is the one. However, I believe we should set the bar higher and that we can do better than this.
