Imagine your relationship as a castle that is stro

Imagine your relationship as a castle that is strong, beautiful, and built with love. But according to Gottman Method Couple Therapy (GMCT), four sneaky ‘horsemen’ can quietly tear it all down:

🐴 Criticism – Attacks the person, not the problem.
🐴 Contempt – Drips with sarcasm and disrespect.
🐴 Defensiveness – Puts up walls instead of listening.
🐴 Stonewalling – Shuts down communication completely.

The good news? GMCT offers powerful antidotes to fortify your relationship with respect, empathy, and open communication 🏰💙

Have you spotted any of these horsemen in your own relationship? Drop a 🏰 if you’re working to strengthen your love! ⬇💬

✨ Set small, achievable goals and celebrate the progress.
