Couples Therapy

Your relationship, or marriage, maybe in trouble if it involves negative interactions more often than positive ones. John Gottman, Ph. D., a world-famous marriage researcher, has spent twenty years studying thousands of relationships. He found that people in happy relationships report five times more positive experiences with each other than negative ones.

Gottman found that happy couples repair the break and move on after a fight or disagreement rather than stay in anger and hurt. He named defensiveness, criticism, contempt, and stonewalling the biggest culprits in creating relationship misery. He also found that expressing contempt toward a partner indicates that a relationship is in serious trouble and will likely end. Please take these symptoms seriously if they are present in your relationship.
