About Marriage and Relationship Counseling

The Magic Ratio (1 minute video): Learn  how many positive things you need to do or say to make up for just one negative comment.  This is based on  marriage and relationship research by John Gottman, Ph. D.  

  Articles to improve marriages/relationships   This links you to several short articles on  ways to improve your intimate relationship.  Couples who stay together do  most of what  these articles suggest.  Divorce prone couples fail to do what is suggested. 

Behavior that Predicts Divorce  It also clues you in to what you must do in a relationship to avoid a breakup. This will link you  to a summary from a great book on marriage: The Seven Principles for Making Marriages Work by John Gottman. 

 3 1/2 minute video: The Best Predictor of Divorce: Contempt 

 

 Making Your Relationship Work..  Link to John Gottman videos 4 -10 minute videos. These are worth watching.  I had the opportunity to spend two days with John  several years ago.  He has been researching marriages for over 25 years in a "Love Lab" in Seattle.
