Relationship Killers

There are four behaviors that come up in communication styles that are considered to be predictors of a relationship ending.  In this episode, we are discussing these terms that the Gottman Institute has coined "The Four Horsemen".  You've likely heard the words criticism, defensiveness, stonewalling and contempt, but have you looked at how they may be present in your relationships?  Identifying them early and eliminating them from your communication patterns is key to long-term relationship happiness.  You'll hear stories from both Mandi and Mai-Ly on how these relationship killers have presented (and ultimately ended) things in their previous relationships.  Enjoy this episode, and please share it with your friends or social media if you feel others could also benefit.
