Dr John Gottman in Seattle has been the only Marriage and Family Therapist to prove what harms and what helps relationships based on observing the interactions of hundreds of couples in what is called the Love Lab. His books are wonderful in showing clearly how specific behaviors support longterm success in committed relationships. I would highly recommend: The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.
You can find out more about his books at:

Or just Google John Gottman and read about the work. Most MFTs work on marriages based on theories of what should work to make communication better, etc. Gottman has gone from testing his theories to finding out what really does work.
