EP. 5:   Making Marriage Work: Seven Lessons from the Gottman Principles

from Life and Love by Design · host Odette Coronel

Conflict is bound to happen, whether you’ve been married for two years or twenty. It’s a fact of life. But how you deal with it will determine if you have a long and happy relationship, or you both throw in the towel prematurely. Most people, in my opinion, tend to love their spouse and want to make it work. They just don’t know what to say or do to make it better. That’s why this week, we’re taking a few tips from my favorite relationship-solving book.  In this week’s episode, we're gonna be talking about how to strengthen the relationship with your partner. As a relationship coach, I know that there is a way out of the darkness, and I can help guide you through it. I’m going to be talking about how to handle conflict in a healthy way and how small daily habits can help protect your marriage from disconnection and from stress. We’re going to be diving into the seven principles highlighted in the book Making Marriage Work by John M. Gottman and Nan Silver. Tune in to hear what simple tweaks you can make in your relationship to ease the stress and protect your marriage. Follow Odette on:Instagram @‌odettecoronelcoachingTikTok @‌odetterelationshipcoach   LinkedIn: Odette CoronelWebsite:www.odettecoronel.comHow to work with Odette:Sign up for Odette’s Life Coaching Services here! Sign up for Odette’s Relationship Coaching Services here! Podcast production for this episode was provided by CCST, an Afro-Latina-owned boutique podcast production and copywriting studio.
