The reality of marriage is... there are no secrets to making marriage work. You may never enjoy the image you have concocted of what a happy or beautiful marriage looks like or what great kids look like.

You will forget about communication boundaries and say whatever is on your mind because you are fed up! There will be tears; there may be cursing; there could be screaming. Prayers may help, but don't take away the pain. Conventional wisdom will say, "That's a marriage that's on its last leg. It's about to crash and burn." But according to Pastor Cal Roberson, this is a marriage that's setting the foundation for a beautiful reset. Marriage Ain't for Punks is a relationship game changer. It is a straight-forward and unapologetic dive into why people fail or struggle at one of the most popular and sought-after unions in modern and ancient society. It is more than a book about marriage. It is a book about how to manage life with another person by probing into the heart of the readers and forces them to confront themselves and be accountable for their own emotions and actions. Transparency, honesty, and downright fearlessness are the traits that make great marriages. They refuse to allow pettiness to destroy the beauty they do have. They are not weaklings. They are not quitters. The realize that Marriage Ain't for Punks.

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John Gottman, Ph.D. Pdf

Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. As a professor of psychology at the University of Washington and the founder and director of the Seattle Marital and Family Institute, he has studied the habits of married couples in unprecedented detail over the course of many years. His findings, and his heavily attended workshops, have already turned around thousands of faltering marriages. This book is the culmination of his life's work: the seven principles that guide couples on the path toward a harmonious and long-lasting relationship. Straightforward in their approach, yet profound in their effect, these principles teach partners new and startling strategies for making their marriage work. Gottman helps couples focus on each other, on paying attention to the small day-to-day moments that, strung together, make up the heart and soul of any relationship. Being thoughtful about ordinary matters provides spouses with a solid foundation for resolving conflict when it does occur and finding strategies for living with those issues that cannot be resolved. Packed with questionnaires and exercises whose effectiveness has been proven in Dr. Gottman's workshops, The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the definitive guide for anyone who wants their relationship to attain its highest potential. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work is the result of Dr. John Gottman's many years of closely observing thousands of marriages. This kind of longitudinal research has never been done before. Based on his findings, he has culled seven principles essential to the success of any marriage. Maintain a love map. Foster fondness and admiration. Turn toward instead of away. Accept influence. Solve solvable conflicts. Cope with conflicts you can't resolve. Create shared meaning. Dr. Gottman's unique questionnaires and exercises will guide couples on the road to revitalizing their marriage, or making a strong one even better.
