Navigating conflict is the top reason couples seek help. Through decades of research, Drs. John and Julie Gottman, founders of The Gottman Institute and the world-famous Love Lab, have identified five common mistakes couples make when at odds. In Fight Right, they share specific tools to help couples communicate and work together to build a stronger, healthier relationship, greater intimacy, and deeper connection.
With kindness, clarity, and a deep understanding of the struggles couples are going through, the Gottmans show us that we each have a unique conflict culture based on how we were raised and how we experienced past relationships. They then take us through all the possible combinations (from Avoiders, to Validators, to Volatiles) and offer clear guidance on how each combination will best work together.
Fight Right is an essential resource to help couples escape the win-or-lose
mentality in favor of a collaborative approach: calming down and staying
connected.
