Healthy Conflict: Marriage and Relationship Advice Drs. John and Julie Gottman on Ten Percent Happier

Jon and Julie Gottman give tips for healthy conflict (marriage and all relationships). Drs John and Julie Gottman say conflict doesn't have to be zero. These iconic relationship researchers tell us how. Although the majority of the Gottmans' research focuses on couples, the advice is applicable to all types of relationships. In this episode we talk about:
– The three main conflict styles
– Why we often don't understand why we fight
– Perpetual problems vs solvable problems
– Why the first three minutes of an argument are essential
– The simple sentence to use at the start of an argument
– How to reduce defensiveness in an argument
– Why the Gottmans think constructive criticism doesn't exist
– Why apologizing quickly is not always the right decision
– When a fight could mean the end

Fight Right: How Successful Couples Turn Conflict Into Connection is the name of a new book by esteemed guests Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Gottman.

They are co-founders of the Gottman Institute and have conducted over 40 years of research with over 3,000 couples. John is the researcher; Julie the clinician. They wrote several books together, including Eight Dates and The Love Prescription.
