«Why Marriages Succeed or Fail: And How You Can Make Yours Last» is John Gottman's essay on couple relationships, published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in paperback (234 pages, in English).
The author analyses how criticism, contempt, defensiveness and emotional stonewalling can destroy a relationship, and explains that happy couples do not depend so much on resolving conflicts as on accumulating a positive emotional reserve to draw on in difficult times. Written with Nan Silver, the book offers keys to understanding the dynamics of marriage and building a lasting and satisfying relationship.
Work originally published in 1994 in the United States; this Bloomsbury edition is from 1997. Includes collaboration by Nan Silver.
Recommended for readers interested in relationship psychology, couples therapy and self-help focused on marriage.
