Hi All,
I've subscribed to the Gottman Institute newsletter to improve my marriage, and it's been helpful so far.  I'm not married to a PD, but my marriage could use a bit of help.  Also, I'm learning a lot about relationships.  This one newsletter talks about the danger of contempt.  A few years ago I identified my sib's sarcasm and eye-rolling and name-calling as the things I just could not put up with any longer.  Dr. Gottman would agree that those actions are considered contemptuous, and they are the biggest predictor of divorce (or probably the breakdown of any relationship).   Here's the newsletter.  You can sign up for free if you want their Marriage Minute newsletter delivered to your inbox.
