Abstract

I was introduced to John Gottman, Ph.D. by Phil Donahue during the summer of 1995. At that time, Dr. Gottman was promoting the paperback edition of his book, Why Marriages Succeed or Fail…And How You Can Make Yours Last (Gottman, 1995) on the Donahue show. Also at that time, I had taken a break from my career to raise children only to realize that my marriage was failing. Dr. Gottman seemed to know what he was talking about, despite the fact that he was hawking a general interest book on a television talk show, and I decided to purchase his book and find out more.

I learned that Gottman was and is a respected researcher; a professor in the Psychology Department of the University of Washington. He had been doing observational studies of marriage for 20 years at that point, analyzing the interactions of both “happy” and “unhappy” couples in a home-like laboratory setting.
