All couples have conflicts or disagreements at times. The difference between a happily married (or otherwise committed) couple and an unhappy union most frequently involves the ability to discuss and resolve those differences in a positive manner that respects the interests and needs of each individual.

Common unhealthy, damaging relationship communications usually include such interactions as:

  • Hostility, or verbal or physical attacks on the other person
  • Put-downs, name-calling or other contempt for the partner
  • Dragging old information or experiences into a current argument
  • Defensive responses
  • Withdrawal from a disagreement 
  • Escalating negativity in the relationship

    Is it time to make a change and gain insight into what's going on and what you can do about it?
