Avoiding The “Four Horsemen” in Relationships - Taken From Honestly Better Mental Fitness Session 10

What is the secret to a happy relationship? Why do so many of us struggle to build and maintain the kind of deep, fulfilling connections we crave? 

The path to a happy relationship isn't always straightforward, and it can often feel like an elusive puzzle.

In this video, coach Travis Ramsey shares practical and insightful strategies to help you build and sustain a deeply satisfying connection with your partner. From embracing differences to fostering mutual growth, explore the essential elements that can transform your relationship into a joyful and enduring journey.

• Travis shares how different people deal with conflict using the “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Formula.”
  1. Criticism can be harmful to relationships if not handled carefully. It often leads to feelings of defensiveness, resentment, and hurt. However, constructive feedback, when given with empathy and respect, can help partners grow and improve their relationship.
  2. Defensiveness can be a significant barrier to healthy relationships, for Travis. When individuals become defensive, they attack or criticize others as a way to protect themselves from their own faults and insecurities.
  3. Stonewalling is essentially ignoring the other person. Stonewalling is a significant sign of an inability to deal with conflict and to get to the root of what is the actual conflict.
  4. Contempt is one of the most difficult to deal with. It is when  you become so tired of a person’s behavior that everything they do disgusts you. It usually doesn't happen with a singular incident, but  an accumulation of small daily things that the other person does.
