A landmark guide to conflict and overcoming the five biggest threats relationships face from world-leading and bestselling relationship experts

Conflict is the number one reason that couples seek help, but world-renowned relationship experts Dr John and Julie Gottman have discovered that, done right, conflict doesn't have to cause damage to our relationships. Not only that, it can be an opportunity for greater intimacy, deeper connection, and lasting love.

Using decades of research, compelling case studies and a new international study, Dr Gottman and Dr Schwartz Gottman prove that even couples who are truly struggling in conflict and have really lost their way are able to recover and find their way back to each other by recognising and taking control of the 5 five fights that we all fall into:

- The Bomb Drop
- The Flood
- The Shallows
- The Standoff
- The Chasm in the Room

For couples in crisis, or those who want to feel more connected, Fight Right is an essential resource that will help couples escape the win-or-lose mentality in favour of a collaborative approach, one that enables us to stay calm, communicate better, and truly understand one another, so that our fights can bring us closer.

Praise for Fight Right

This book is an indispensable resource that couples will use over and over again

Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

"John and Julie Gottman bring their decades of research to the hot topic of what we're fighting about, and how we can fight better. I don't know of another resource out there like this one, with so much landmark science, vivid storytelling, and clear tools in every chapter. This book is a gift to its readers."

—Susan David, PhD, bestselling author of Emotional Agility

"Drs. John and Julie Gottman have crafted a masterful guide about the importance of fighting and the skills needed to grow from having necessary disputes."

—Nedra Glover Tawwab, New York Times bestselling author of Set Boundaries, Find Peace

"John and Julie Gottman, with their decades of experience working intimately with couples, know that the road to finding your purpose and fulfilling your dreams is often through conflict. If we don't learn how to do conflict well, we're going to be stuck, disconnected, and unfulfilled. Couples today really need clear, compassionate, and science-based guidance in this arena, and as the world's leading love experts, the Gottmans are the trusted voice to guide them."

—Jay Shetty, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Think Like a Monk

"A profound new take on conflict from the world's leading relationship experts, Fight Right is poised to be the kind of classic that 7 Principles of Making Marriage Work has become. This book is for all couples, from those who are in crisis to those who may think they have a perfect relationship. A brilliant paradigm shift on conflict, with clear guidance for how to repair ruptures right."

—Daniel Siegel, MD, author of New York Times bestsellers Aware, The Whole Brain Child, No Drama Discipline, Brainstorm, and more
