A little about the research 

"The 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work" is a best-selling book that is written by Dr.'s John and Julie Gottman which is a review of their research that comes out of the "Love Lab" at the University of Washington.  

​

Dr. John Gottman has been researching couples since the 1970's! They have observed over 3,000 couples and have been able to predict divorce with 91% accuracy! 

​

With all of these couples, they were able to observe differences between the couples that ended up getting divorced, and the ones that stayed happily married.  They called the couples that got divorced the "Disaster Couples", and the ones that stayed married, the "Master Couples."  

​

All of the Master Couples had 7 things in common, which then were later called "The 7 principles of Making Marriage Work."  The Master couples had all 7 of these principles, where the Disaster Couples were missing 1 or more of them.  

​

It is important to look at this research because if you are missing 1 or more of these principles, you have a change to change before becoming a Disaster Couple that ends in divorce!
