In this episode of the Rich Life Podcast, we delve into critical aspects of relationships, focusing on the concept of 'contempt' as one of the 'Four Horsemen' outlined by the Gottman Institute. The hosts discuss how contempt can escalate conflicts and is a significant predictor of relationship breakdowns. Using a case study of a couple named Lisa and Mark, they explore the detrimental effects of contempt, its signs, and provide practical antidotes such as 'I feel' and 'I need' statements, building a culture of appreciation, and seeking professional help. The episode emphasizes the importance of awareness and intentional efforts to cultivate healthier relationships.
