The simple message of this book is that divorcing husbands and wives should not allow divorce lawyers to send them off on a fool’s errand that will take what is already a tragedy in their lives and turn it into a nightmare. That is when they are persuaded to employ the law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as much as you can and to give as little as you have to. Rather, they should look to the law as a common framework that they can turn to in their effort to conclude an agreement and thereby get on with their lives. There is a name for this. It is called divorce mediation and it doesn’t take forever or cost a king’s ransom.

There are two ways that divorcing husbands and wives can employ the law. The first, which is employed by divorce lawyers, is to use law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as much as you can and to give as little as you have to. The other, employed by divorce mediators, is to use the law as a common framework that husbands and wives can look to in their effort to conclude an agreement. To be sure, a divorce lawyer will not characterize the undertaking in those terms. Rather, he will say that its purpose is to secure their legal rights and conclude an agreement that is fair and equitable. Unfortunately, its effect will be to give them false levels of expectation that will then be followed by equivalent levels of disappointment. The purpose of this book is twofold. First, to help divorcing husbands and wives better understand this so that they do not allow divorce lawyers to send them off on a fool’s errand going nowhere. Second, to enable them to see and accept what a divorce lawyer’s window dressing is designed to hide, namely, that it is not possible to find perfect solutions to imperfect problems. Contrary to what divorce lawyers would have them believe, their divorce does not take place in a different world than their marriage. It takes place in the same world, and that world is one of inevitable constraint and human limitation.

With the exception of the loss of a child or someone very close, divorce is often the most difficult experience anyone will have to negotiate in his or her life. But what turns it into the tragedy that it so often becomes is the legal nonsense that they will be exposed to when they turn to divorce lawyers. Divorce lawyers don’t help. They only make things worse. That, unfortunately, has been the sad legacy that our adversarial legal system has bequeathed to divorcing husbands and wives. But it doesn’t have to be that way. And it doesn’t have to drag out for years or cost a king’s ransom. A lawyer is not just an advocate—someone who uses the law as a weapon in a legal tug of war the object of which is simply to get as much as you can and to give as little as you have to. As this book argues, a lawyer is also a counselor at law—someone who will use the law as a common framework that divorcing husbands and wives can look to in their effort to conclude an agreement. There is a name for this. It is called divorce mediation and it doesn’t take forever or cost a king’s ransom.

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.
