I have often devoted my Valentine’s Day posts to ideas I think might help relationships. John Gottman is one of the foremost experts on the scientific evidence about relationships. From what he and his colleagues observed in the “Love Lab,” they identified the “Four Horseman” shown on the left in the graphic above as especially dangerous to relationships. But each of the four horsemen has an antidote, shown on the right in the graphic above. With this few words, it would be hard to do more for relationships than this.
