Four Signs Your Relationship Will Not Survive - The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Many relationships go through difficulties from time to time and many can be resolved. However after studying over 2,000 couples for more than two decades Dr John Gottman found there are four attitudes and behaviours present in a relationship around how couples relate to each other that can predict with some accuracy relationship failure if they continue unchecked. He named them the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'.

These behaviours are criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling. In this video Darren Magee outlines the four behaviours and gives examples of how they manifest, then shares some thoughts on whether or not the relationship can be salvaged.
