The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work
Hold Me Tight

Perfect for you if...

You're in a marriage or long-term partnership that feels distant and want practical tools to rebuild intimacy without therapy sessions.
You're a parent trying to strengthen your bond with your kids and need concrete strategies beyond "spending more time together".
You recognise you withdraw when people reach out and want to understand why, so you can change the pattern.

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a quick fix or believe relationships should be effortless once you've found the right person.
You prefer abstract psychology and aren't interested in doing questionnaires or exercises yourself.
You're in an abusive or genuinely broken relationship and need crisis support, not a five-step programme.

About this book

The Relationship Cure presents a five-step program for improving relationships with spouses, lovers, children, siblings, and colleagues. Based on twenty years of research, the book outlines key elements of healthy relationships and introduces the concept of the emotional "bid"—described as the fundamental unit of emotional connection. Dr. Gottman provides tools for improving how you make bids for emotional connection and how you respond to others' bids. The book includes questionnaires and exercises developed through his therapy work, offering a structured approach to strengthening relationships across all areas of life.
