Overview
This paperback collection brings together three of Dr. John Gottman's most trusted relationship guides: Fight Right, Eight Dates, and The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. Drawing on decades of research from the Gottman Institute, the set moves from resolving conflict, to planning meaningful conversations, to building a long-term foundation for a happy marriage. Fight Right shows couples how to argue without damaging trust. Eight Dates offers eight structured conversations that deepen intimacy. The Seven Principles distills landmark studies into everyday habits couples can use for years to come.

About the Books
Each title tackles a different piece of what makes relationships last. Fight Right, by John Gottman and Julie Schwartz Gottman, reframes conflict as an opportunity rather than a threat, identifying common missteps that turn small disagreements into lasting resentment, and offering scripts for repairing ruptures and rebuilding trust after a hard conversation. Eight Dates, co-written with Doug Abrams and Rachel Carlton Abrams, turns Gottman's research into eight guided date nights built around topics couples often avoid, from money and family to intimacy and dreams, making it easier to talk through what matters most. The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, written with longtime collaborator Nan Silver, is the book that first brought Gottman's Love Lab findings to a general audience, laying out habits such as building love maps and managing conflict without contempt. All three lean on decades of observational research with real couples, translating findings into exercises readers can use the same evening, whether newlyweds or long-married partners working through the collection side by side.
