The Love Lab: Part 6 - Is something missing in your relationship?
Are you curious about what makes a successful marriage? What can save a marriage from negativity, criticism, and contempt? Knowing these principles of healthy marriage will provide valuable guidance for your son or daughter in their relationships. John M. Gottman claims to have found the key through the unique research in his book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Each week, learn more about Gottman's experiments and his surprisingly simple conclusions about the power of friendship in a marriage! Part 6 of 6: Do you think this is a true statement? Sometimes even couples who truly love each other can feel like something’s missing in their relationship. Answer: It’s true. But, love is a critical ingredient needed to achieve Gottman’s final principle of healthy marriage: shared meaning that creates a sense of family. Gottman observed that happily married couples cultivate a common inner life. This life includes rituals, roles, and goals – a culture – that links the family together and helps each person understand what it means to be a part of this family. Dr. Gottman’s research emphasizes the importance of marriage and the necessity of friendship to maintain a healthy marriage. |
