For the month of January, we wanted to highlight another book from John Gottman, PhD.

In this book you will learn about the different marriage and conflict styles there are, explore the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, how your private thoughts contribute to conflict in your marriage, differences in how each gender shows up in the marriage, and secrets from John Gottman's research on what makes marriages succeed or fail.

All of John Gottman's books give some tools for you and your partner to use, however, it is helpful to schedule an appointment with a Gottman certified therapist (such as Andi who is Gottman Level 1 certified) to fully encompass all that these tools have to offer.

Schedule an appointment with Andi today by visiting her psychology today profile or texting (863) 345-2596.

Each month we would like to highlight a book recommendation for you. These books may offer insight and helpful tools to help you navigate an issue. We do recommend scheduling an appointment with us to help implement the tools as needed in real time.

This month, the book Fight Right by Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD and John Gottman, PhD is being featured. This dynamic duo of authors have not only written several books but have contributed to the field of marriage/couples therapy by developing a model that Andi uses concepts from in her work with couples. (Andi is also going to be Level 1 trained in this model on Dec 13 and 14th.)

This book is recommended for all couples. It touches on different styles of couples when it comes to conflict and tools, mindset shifts, and more to use when conflict inevitably arises. Couples argue, but are you fighting right? Find out by listening to or reading "Fight Right" by Julie Schwartz Gottman, PhD and John Gottman PhD.

Comment below what you took away from this book if you have already read it or come back and comment after you read it. Let us know if you enjoyed this book as much as Andi did.

Why is going through Pre-Marital Counseling with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist a good idea before your big day?

Don't snooze on pre-marital counseling! It will help set your relationship up for success and give you the skills to make it through the hard times!

Can your relationship stand the test of time? Without skills such as those listed in the illustration below, the journey together is much harder. Couples therapy can provide a safe space to talk about hard topics or things you as a couple disagree on. There is value in having a trained neutral party there to give perspective or ask the questions you can't think of because you are clouded with emotion. Attending couples therapy, even when things seem to be going smoothly will feel like you are safeguarding your relationship.

*Disclaimer, as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I do not decide if things get better or if you stay together as a couple. That is up to each couple/individual to decide. I am just here to help facilitate hard conversations and teach skills to hopefully help you be successful in whatever relationship you apply the things you learn.

Contact Andi today through the link below or by texting (863) 345-2596 to schedule your free 15 minute consultation today.

Every couple goes through issues. As a couple, do you have the conflict resolution skills, communication skills, and team perspective to handle any problem that comes your way?

If the answer is no, consider Connected Pathways as a safe place to learn, as a partnership, the skills necessary to revive your relationship. Even if you aren't facing challenges now, having a foundation of skills to rely on when you do have conflict and challenges will serve you well.
