I thought the last sentence was going to be "and he got behind his wife's dreams", but he just "got behind advertising the book".

It really seems most of Gottman advice revolves around husbands changing but rarely mentions the wife changing. I really want to buy into the principles but is “happy wife, happy life” a real thing. What happened to happy husband? LOL

Once you read enough articles and watch enough videos you start seeing a psychological pattern emerge. This is what I got from Treitan Mellory’s website, though you won’t have to spend hours if you follow his advice.

This story sounds a little made up. Dr. Gottman once cited a scene in the movie Don Juan Demarco where Marlon Brando's character asks the exact same question to his wife to which she gives the exact same answer, but now he's citing this very same exchange happening between a marketing director and his wife.

We learned a lot from this book and its continualy helping our patients.

Such an uplifting story. I think it also works in other relationships. Knowing what your child, friend, or workmate dreams of in life gives you access to something that’s so personal that it can immediately form a special connection.
