    4 stages of marriage destruction:
    1 - Criticism
    2 - Defensiveness
    3 - Contempt
    4 - Stonewalling
    I am familiar with these.

    Criticism and pointing out mistakes was his way of showing "love" because he wanted to push me to be my best (as he tells it). Which I don't doubt. But I remember feeling unappreciated as a child And now I have become my own father in terms of how I treat my husband! I am trying to figure out how to permanently break this cycle so that I can keep the man I love.

    Good Lord. One of the reasons my husband and I are currently separated is because I engage in a lot of criticism and contempt. And I also do not build a culture of fondness and admiration--I do exactly the thing Gottman said in this video: I look for and point out negatives rather than focus on positives. What he said about parent/child relationships really hit home for me, too, because that is exactly how my father has treated me my whole life from the time I could walk or talk.

      That is brave of you. As humans, we don't like seeing and acknowledging our mistakes or pointing it out unless it's the other´s mistakes. Though it costs you, glad you could admit how you contributed to the problem. First step to healing.

    this stuff is very helpful to relationships but also what I found super helpful for those of you who are looking for relationship help has been the 5 love languages book by dr. Chapman. I really enjoyed it and it has helped my relationship so soooo much.

    Thank you for posting this video. You seem to be highly sensitive, as well as thoughtful and educated. And there were many topics covered in the presentation that I learned new things about. But I have a question about your transition from same-sex relationships to infectious illnesses here - ua-cam.com/video/-gFldZtVIqQ/v-deo.html
    Contemptuous language seems to be the topic, and I have replayed it several times, but I’m still not sure about your point. If you have an opportunity in another video, could you please explain the connection a bit more? Thank you

    he talks as if people are either: 1. looking at the mistakes of their partners, OR 2. seeing their strengths. I assume we all do both -- all the time.

    • @Cate7451

      Yes we do but need to do more of the later.

    redball81, try cognitive behavior therapy. You sound like you were raised by my father, too, and it affected my relationships, too. I hope this past year has been one of healing for you.

    I would like some thoughts on how a spiritual life works into a marriage if you don’t practice the same religion?

    Meanwhile, the tabloid fodder example of Dr. Phil as a guy who is heading for divorce didn't age well. Robin and Dr. Phil. 12 years later from the time of the Rotary meeting, are still married.
