Hey,
Why doesn't anyone want to talk about this
subtle, sneaky cause of divorce?
Because they are STONEWALLING!
This is the 3rd predictor of divorce and one of the hardest to
fix.
Why??
Because we're too busy playing games with stonewalling, sometimes referred to as "The Silent Treatment."
This newsletter and video are a continuation of my 4-part series.
There's this guy named John Gottman who does a ton of research on marriage.
He's kind of a big deal because of all the detailed analyses he's done on what makes relationships last and marriages survive...or crash and burn.
I'm putting his research into easy-to-understand language and easy to implement actions to stop the madness!
In other words, if these things show up consistently in your
relationship, you can bet things won't be going your way in the future.
The four behaviors are:
- Criticism
- Defensiveness
- Stonewalling
- Contempt
In each of these videos, I will break down each behavior this way:
a. What is
it?
b. What it is not.
c. What is looks like or sounds like
d. How it poisons the relationship
e. How to change your behavior now and start doing something different
In this video, I talk about STONEWALLING.
