What Makes Love Last?: How to Build Trust and Avoid Betrayal

Okay honestly, I would like to reflect on the review below here that says it’s about trust, ‘big deal’. Yes it is about trust, based on research and a scientific method that helps couples to untangle their emotional troubles. And yes it is largely based on their trust level. I am a psychology student, and I despise self proclaimed life coaches, and authors with no degree in the field of psychology, and finally here is Dr Gottman, with 40 years + experience, his theory is based on research, tested and was proven effective. Even if you are single, please please order this book, I have benefited from what’s in it greatly. It teaches you how to cope with disagreements, unresolved traumas, how to build a long lasting relationship, and so much more. I only wish I had read it sooner when it came out. It’s easily understandable, logical and clear. It has tests, step by step guides, and real life arguments between couples you can learn from with comments of the author, pointing out important parts. Honestly, if there is one book on relationships you will read, please please choose this one!

Superb couple's therapy book by Gottman. Highly readable, extremely well explained. Not overly complicated but very well backed by scientific research. This book could be a game changer for a couple struggling with their relationship and are willing to shift their behavior and perspective. Would highly recommend

I found this book spoke to me very deeply considering I was betrayed for many years.

Excellent, sensitive, helpful, practical and humane

Very good book, the research gives the conclusions some good grounding, it is simple to understand practical, and easy the implement.

Very, very helpful. You must read it.

Wow. Wish I had read this earlier. Well written and with expert research and serious understand of relationships.Gottman clearly knows his stuff and is being used by marriage guidance and counselors all over. If you having problems definitely start here. Also a good read if you're not having serious problems. Hey,all marriages could benefit from a read of this. I'm not easily impressed but this is so good maybe they should hand out free copies at weddings just to help along the long road of "happy ever after".
