Research shows that four specific communication behaviors during arguments can predict divorce with 80-90% accuracy, while eliminating these behaviors can dramatically improve marriage success.
โข The four horsemen of relationship conflict are defensiveness, criticism, contempt, and stonewalling
โข Defensiveness deflects blame and responsibility, creating a downward spiral in communication
โข Criticism attacks a partner's character rather than addressing specific behaviors
โข Contempt is the most dangerous pattern, involving feelings of superiority toward your partner
โข Stonewalling occurs when one partner mentally or physically shuts down during conflict
โข The antidote to stonewalling is taking a purposeful break with the intention to resume later
โข Taking time to cool down and process emotions leads to more productive conflict resolution
โข Sometimes sleeping on an issue provides needed perspective, contrary to "don't go to bed angry" advice
โข Breaking these harmful communication patterns requires recognizing and interrupting them early

What are the most important things to look for when searching for marriage help? Is it experience? Good reviews? A high success rate? The answer is yesโฆ to ALL of those things.
But success rate is a more nuanced metric. HOW the success rate is calculated matters just as much as the actual success rate, and thatโs what we talk about on todayโs episode.
In this episode, Kimberly is joined by Dr. John Hill, Director of Research at Marriage Helper. Dr. Hill and Kimberly break down Marriage Helperโs success rate over the years, the process behind the research, and the CURRENT success rate and the research being actively conducted to determine it.
