      When christians and the church try to teach these truths, people shut them down, insult, abuse, ignore and even reject it violently. God created us all, and He desires that people live their lives right, get married, have children and obey His commandments. If we all went back to God and stopped fighting against Him, then most of our battles would be null and void or less stressfull. Believe in Jesus and read your Bible, attend Christian talks and bible studies

      Why she feels a constant need to interrupt him even when it is not necessary is perplexing. After all these years together she still can’t control herself and her need to dominate the conversation. He looks subdued and resigned to this negative pattern. Why is it always men who need to give up their dignity to maintain a relationship with women.

      As a therapist, I saw so many Christians and church communities resist therapy with Gottman methods. If their pastor or his named Christian cohort branded “Christian “. The church does more harm than good with its patriarchy and authoritarianism.

      Our marriage had been rocky, to say the least. If I had to diagnose the issues now, it would be quite different from what I was thinking back then. Back then I thought I was the problem. My wife's disrespect and emasculation of me had taken their toll on my self esteem. I so wanted to have a solid marriage for my children's sake. Seeing myself as being the problem, though I couldn't pin point my failures, I would try in any way I could to woo her, to romance her, to make her want me and appreciate me.
      In April of 2007 her heart issue went haywire, and she was going to need open heart surgery. I saw it as an opportunity to prove myself to her (what a fool I was).
      I prayed to God to strengthen me,. I determined that I would be there for her no matter what might come.
      I can honestly say I kept that promise. I served her, I took care of everything through her long recovery... the house, the kids, the bills... I would rub her back for hours. I helped her bathe, wash her hair, dress... I helped her in every way I could think of. By years end she was so much better and stronger. We seldom had sex.. and not because I didn't want it. She blamed her heart for lack of desire. She would lose her breath at times and have to stop. But now her heart was better. She could climb stairs without getting winded at all. We had sex one time that entire year. I didn't complain. I didn't do anything but love her, care for her, be there for her.
      Christmas was on a Tuesday. The Friday before at my company's Christmas party, my boss called me up in front of everyone, praising my hard work. And he handed me an envelope. Inside were two $100 bills!
      It was hard for us financially in those days. I was the sole bread winner and it was difficult to buy my wife anything nice... Not to mention that she would know where I bought it from and for how much, since we only had one checking account where all our money went. But she didn't know anything about that $200. I knew exactly what I was going to do... I drove straight to our local jewelry store, and there it was! A $259 gold necklace on sale! I pictured my wife coming into our candlelit bedroom, wearing something sexy, with that necklace on. I bought it! $192 with tax. I spent another $6 to have it wrapped in the nicest paper they offered, with a little bow and a special tag. I put that under our tree and thought to myself, "When she opens this and is surprised I was able to get her something this nice, gushing over it and me, I can tell her that Id live to see her wearing that in something sexy when we ring in 2008 together."
      Well, Christmas morning came and I watched as she opened it. She lifted the lid, look at it for maybe 1.5 seconds, snapped it shut and just sort of wrist flipped it aside, like one might do with a piece of junk mail. There was no gushing. There was not even a hint of any kind of appreciation whatsoever. There wasn't even a polite, customary thank you. Hell, she didn't even look at me. Her eyes didn't even lift to glance at me at all.
      Then, after gifts were out of the way, she stepped up to question me...
      Her: I have a question. Why a necklace?"
      After the rudeness of it all, I was robbed of what I had wanted to say to her. But even then I shared my heart with her...
      Me: "I thought it was beautiful and would look great in you, babe."
      I paid her a compliment. I meant every word of it. I was sharing my heart with her. And she shared hers right back. She let me know how stupid she thought I was, how worthless was my gift to her and how everything I had done for her that whole year meant nothing....
      Her: "I had surgery, you know that, right? I have a scar. You can see that, right? I haven't been wearing necklaces right now, so I don't know why you'd do that."
      Then she just turned and walked away from me.

      Totally agree - the character assignation that goes with the criticism is like twisting the knife after being stabbed. It’s starts with put downs then progresses into put downs in front of family she doesn’t see it I imagine - it’s subconscious patterns but I don’t have to put up with it I’m so done with it. I have to say also it’s helped me recognise those big patterns that I’ve been allowing myself to be subjected to.

      I'll never forget the time I went on a date with a lady and she actually rolled her eyes when our waiter walked up. I was so taken aback that I convinced myself I hadn't actually seen her do that. Big mistake. The superiority complex on that girl was something else. Lesson learned: don't give people the benefit of the doubt on a first date because first date behavior is what the person thinks is "putting on airs."

    In the same way she said if you haven’t had GOOD therapy, you can’t differentiate between a good or bad relationship, until you’ve listened to good therapists like the Gottmans, you probably can’t tell a good therapist from a bad one.

      You know what the problem is? And I am speaking here from experience- people do not wait long enough before they get married or moving together. And with waiting- I do not mean "waiting while being in the relationship" that's is the second step - The first step is waiting for a person you gonna meet- when you know " it is yours"! It is hard, and most people do not want to wait, then they have no idea how it may looks like if they hadn't meet the good one - they rush with every potential" first better looking good to me" home. But there is no home there, just disapointment after some years of hope after all. So go on "checking out people" until this one day- you noticed everything is different with somebody you just met.. It would not be perfect, no! But you would be able to accept all of his/hers imperfections whatever it may be and it would not bother you at all. Instead, you will start to like/ love them or at least accept to the point you would not noticing them anymore ( and everybody has them! ) On somebody else you would know- you could have never ever stand them out! :-)
      And you would know in the first half year- this is the one i would like to have around for longer in my life. Then wait again for another year and watch how things unfold.
      Pls, never waist time on the unworthy! Nothing good would come out of it.. Just waisted time & young years at the end.

    I discovered the Gottman's work far too late, after my physical disabilities caused me to be financially dependent upon my narcissistic husband. It was my illness that triggered his increased criticism and contempt; until then, I was confused why all my attempts to use my decades of learned relationship tools couldn't improve our marriage. I secretly sought the advice of an attorney, who confirmed that I would be financially devastated if I divorced, so I stayed. I was lucky: he died of cancer and I got a renewed chance to enjoy life.

I am trying to grow trust and confidence in myself and then illness come back and it takes it back. But this time I battled with my delusions and hallucinations, I treated them as dreams, associations and it went much better. My relatives started to look at me little bit different when I said I write letters to Congress about the war. They said I can be arrested you can't speak about war in Russia. I don't know what lay ahead. But I kinda gain a little respect for myself when I get a letter that he will represent in Congress. I influenced politician. I did something in this world. I don't know how I influenced him. But still. He clearly have his own ideas about my delusional writings. But he didn't scolded me. He just didn't reacted, it was a change of attitude.

    Honestly I never hear anyone mentioning that the biggest red flag about Angelina and modern women in general is having a negative impression and opinion of their own father.

Not to underestimate the impact of his behavior, but they were together for a decade before getting married. If he was so awful she could have walked away early on instead of having multiple children with him and then getting married to him. They engaged in a romantic relationship while he was still married to someone else, clearly they both have toxic traits. My point is that the toxic traits of men get maximized and the ones of women get minimized and I find that disingenuous. I get to know the men I consider becoming romantically involved with, and I’m nothing special and I make sure that I understand their family dynamics before I get involved.

    I agree with what they are saying, but I would add that how you get to that place is equally important. If someone cheated on you, and you stonewall them, show contempt, criticism, or they accuse you of being the reason they cheated, and you become defensive; what made the relationship fail? The four horsemen are indicators of inability to navigate conflict, but they can also be a response to straight up emotional abuse, manipulation, and narcissism. I would argue the person stonewalling, being defensive, even criticizing, may not be in the wrong, and even contempt could be highly dependent on a situation or behavior. So...if you cannot handle conflict, is it your fault or a sign that your partner is not the one? Or perhaps, both?
