How we fight predicts the future of our relationships. Most of us blunder into conflict without knowing what we are really fighting about and then quickly become overwhelmed by physiological responses we can’t control and emotions we don’t anticipate. The truth is the happiest and most successful couples fight—all the time. Conflict is human, and necessary.

Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, and community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood - fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away. If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief.

Informative and useful
Great book to help work through or think about issues between couples when they have a baby. Probably a good idea to read earlier on in pregnancy than just as you are bringing a new one home.

This book really needs an accompanying PDF!
Fantastic advice and very practical steps to go through but this being an audible version really makes it difficult to reference those lists and exercises present in the book. Please add a summary pdf to this book. I had to go online and buy a used copy of this book so I could use as reference/workbook

Helpful and interesting
I love the Gottmans. I’m a therapist and also a new parent. This book was super helpful in so many ways. The only thing that I wish they included more of was data on queer couples. There was at least one shout out to lgbtq folks but what I really missed was more fine tuned examples that included couples who might be same sex or who don’t fit into heteronormative gender roles. Other than that, great info. Lots of great tips and tricks.

Awful Narrator
I really want to like this book and I really want to like it, but I just can't. Not in audible form anyways. The narrator reads ridiculously fast and makes it difficult to be able to pay attention and follow along. I also don't think it was as well written as it could have been because the way it's going so far it's difficult to connect some of the stories with the lessons they're trying to implement.

Needs updating to include all types of families, partnerships, and upbringings. If updates were made it was at the beginning of the book and not throughout.

John Gottman is a legendary relationship expert
I have read several books by John Gottman and he never fails to enlighten his readers to relationship dynamics other authors and psychiatrists do not. What I particularly fascinating and useful about this book is that it has sections in around developing a deeply meaningful bond and intimacy with a partner that I would expect would be in a different book. I found these sections super valuable as a man and as a partner.

More couple's therapy than adapting with new baby.
I expected this book to be about how to adjust to a new family member and the stresses that come with new babies. While the book did give insight as to a new mom's feelings of not being cared for and new dad's feelings of being left out, this book was mostly about how to fight better, listen and respond to your partners needs and concerns, and resolve conflict in a healthy way. Anyone could use these techniques. The book did discuss the impact healthy conflict resolution has on unborn babies and infants and how a couples relationship affects a babies understanding of his world. Very helpful and I look forward to listening with my partner and actually completing the questionnaires together to help us grow and become more unified.
