Travis Bradberry, author of Emotional Intelligence 2.0 cites a study that claims to predict with 90% accuracy whether a couple will divorce within ten years.
The indicators are all around how a couple handles conflict, and can be determined in a ten minute observation of the couple in a fight. The indicators are:
- Criticism
- Stonewalling
- Defensiveness
- Contempt
Being a success in your work and failing in your key relationships is not a win. Evaluate your relationship and see how you can handle conflict more effectively.
