John Gottman & Unhealthy Relationships

John Gottman is a renown marriage counselor who is probably most famous for being able to predict (with up to 90% accuracy, I might add!) whether a marriage will end up in divorce or not.  You can view his website here.

According to Gottman, the four harbingers of an unhealthy relationship are:

• defensiveness
• stonewalling
• criticism
• contempt

Thought this is good information to keep in mind as we move forward.
