Greetings everyone.....
What is a healthy marriage? If that question interests you, I strongly
recommend that you view a youtube video where Sue Johnson eloquently defines
what a healthy marriage is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dab34E4ON0 .
Sue Johnson is
developer of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy. Her most recent book is one I
highly recommend: Hold Me Tight. Her approach is
highly successful in helping couples create stronger, more secure
relationships.
I have received advanced
training(externship) with Sue Johnson and employ much of her theoretical
insight in my work with couples. I have also received advanced training with
John Gottman, whose most recent book, What Makes Love
Last? , I also highly recommend.
In addition to Johnson's approach,
I employ the sound findings of Gottman's scientific research. Both Johnson and
Gottman emphasize the importance of attunement or emotional
responsiveness in marital relationships. If you are interested to learn
more about this, I urge you to view the youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dab34E4ON0
On the above link, you will find
more youtube videos by Johnson and others which also address the challenges and
goals of healthy marriages, all of which are quite insightful and instructive.
Enjoy! Jim
