Braunfelt: I picked up this title based on other reviews. It is helpful in some ways but found the style not to what I like. I am still reading this one as its a slower read for me. I do recommend it though as the information is good and will help with getting some skills on handling things.

Snehurka: Wish it came in a Kindle version. The best book to read if you're struggling with relationships.

This book is a reader friendly overview of Gottman's scientific research on romantic interpersonal relationships. In the past I had read a ton of other relationship books, but none of these were substantiated by published, peer reviewed, scientific research. Since I'm working on my own PhD, at some point the lighbulb went off, and I did some research in the university library on what to read...and found out that Gottman is one of the few well respected academic experts on interpersonal romantic relationships (and other things.) If you look into some of the Interpersonal Communication psychology textbooks, some of them even compare Gottman's research to the gender stereotyped stuff that's out there...well, let's just say I had wasted a lot of money on things like Mars/Venus.

Overall, I was very happy to read this book. It does not deal with gender stereotypes or cookie cutter instructions on how to act like a desirable man or a woman. It also does not make you feel bad for not "understanding the system" or the "other gender" or whatever. Rather, it but substantiates the...

Debbie MOM of 5!!: Will help your relationships even if your significant other does not read it! Why do I know this? Because the only person you can change is yourself. When you decide to change and if you decide to use the techniques in this book to do so then your relationships have no other choice but to change.... for the better if that is your goal. iI was absolutely blown away by the accuracy of this book and its uses. I found out so many things about my relationship with my husband. I knew it was bad .. but I had no idea how bad or how to fix it. This book gave me exact step by step instructions if you will, to apply into my daily life. . While he or she may be the problem. I can assure you that whatever you are doing as a result of it is most likely not making it better or you wouldn't be looking for this type of book. This takes Dr. Phil's (Oprah Winfrey's friend on tv) advice much further and gives you not only the reasons but the conversations you can have and the things you need to know about each other for change to take place. A true must for couples looking to get married, or recently did get married, or have been married and are looking for the door. Even you happy folks can gain by...

Michel & Marsha: I read it for a family communication course and holy wow! It's made such a huge difference in how I look at relationship behaviours and how I respond to them. I've recommended this to every one of my friends who is having relationship problems. It's written for the lay person to use but based on solid research. This book is an indispensable resource for Family Life Educators and for anyone who has family members or lovers -- pretty much anyone who isn't a total recluse.

Gizelle: I bought the book not knowing exactly what to expect but since the reviews were very good I trusted them. This Book is by far the best self-help book I've ever read when it comes to relationships and how to express emotions in a relationship whether with your friends, your parents, your husband... The tone and words we use can make a huge difference and John Gottman learns us how to master it . I definitely recommend you this book with no hesitation, you will improve a lot of things in your everyday relationships.BUY IT AND CHANGE YOUR

Banshee: I got this book because I feel I 'could do better' when it comes to getting on with people. I found it helpful. It doesn't promise miracles, which seems rare in a 'self-help' kind of book. And the advice is intelligent, rather than 'homespun'. The reason I haven't given it top marks is that I'm not 100% sure about the Emotional Command Systems part - it could have been explained more scientifically to make it more convincing. But overall a great book from someone who really knows what he's talking about.

S. Thompson: As always, John Gottman's books are wonderful and clear, providing tangible facts and tools for building a better relationship. I've grown so much just by reading his material. My only complaint about this particular book is that the print is SO small!! The small print makes the content more daunting and difficult to read. It must be about 8pt. font. This is thick reading to start with, but add the small font and it becomes arduous. I might buy the Kindle version just so I can enlarge the font. Don't worry...I'm not some old foggy with bad eyesight. Just a person that doesn't want to work so hard to digest this great information!
