“Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.” ~ John Gottman
The Science of Love
Dr’s John and Julie Gottman have spent years researching what destroys relationships by monitoring couples in their “love lab.” They are now able to predict separation/divorce with 90% accuracy! Through their research they have identified four core traits that are signs that the end of a relationship may be near: Criticism, Contempt, Defensiveness and Stonewalling. By increasing awareness of these four actions and how they appear in our relationships we can work to change patterns and increase our admiration of our partner.
