This episode is our first in a series where we are discussing the Gottmans’ work on the “Four Horsemen”: the four conflict patterns that can cause damage in our relationships and marriages.  We’re starting with criticism, which is bringing up a concern by describing our partner (You always you never) and attacking them as a person.  When the horse of criticism is running wild in our marriage, we will feel devalued, rejected, and hurt. In this episode, we share our struggle with criticism and some of the ways to combat it.  What is Criticism? How to complain without criticizing  How Criticism poisons your marriage   To connect with us on social media: Facebook Instagram behindoursmiles.com wowgod.com Email: [email protected]
