Research from GottmanInst has found that couples that split within six years of getting married tend to have six similar habits. Let's talk about them—and what you can do if you see any of them in your relationship. 💭
In any relationship, we are bound to mess up. In fact, it's only natural that couples get into conflict from time to time. The healthiest couples are able to repair after these mishaps, though. Even further, they are able to accept each other's attempts to repair. In comparison, couples that are headed to divorce tend to make far fewer repair attempts and are also less likely to accept their partner's attempt to repair.
The antidote to a harsh startup is to learn how to bring topics up with gentle assertiveness and to speak on your needs. Rather than saying something like"You are always on your phone!" you might learn to say"I'm feeling really lonely. I need us to spend time together without our phones."Instead of defensiveness, empathize and take responsibility for your own part.Instead of contempt, own your feelings.
