“ Your relationship should be a safe haven, not a battle field”

How do you react to conflict in your relationship?
Every healthy relationship has conflict discussions, but it’s how we respond to conflict that could potentially lead to the break down of your marriage/relationship.

Dr.John Gottman spent over 40 years researching relationships. His research concluded four negative behaviours know as the four horsemen that destroy relationships/marriage.
These behaviours included criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling.

Contempt was the most destructive behaviour of all the horsemen and the single greatest predictor for the break down in any relationship.
