A POSITIVE MARRIAGE

John Gottman, one of the world’s leading marriage researchers, whom we often quote, has found that the main difference between a stable and unstable marriage is the positive thoughts and actions spouses engage in toward each other. 1 If you want a healthy and satisfying marriage, you’ll both need to share high levels of positivity. Fun, laughter, and optimism characterize marriages with a healthy emotional climate. Positivity isn’t just about having fun as a couple or being at peace with yourself. It involves feeling emotionally healthy as individuals and as a couple.

As Dr. Neil Clark Warren observed, “No marriage can ever be stronger than the emotional health of the least healthy partner.” 2 Once again, a healthy marriage requires self-evaluation, reflection on the condition of your heart, and a commitment to move in a positive direction. Remember, changing yourself is possible, though perhaps not easy; changing your spouse is impossible.
