Warmth in the home, is one of the biggest factors in human flourishing. It's easier to have warmth for your child, but it takes more work to have warmth for your partner. When it begins to cool between you and and your partner, this stress can negatively affect your children. When in conflict, understanding the way you tend to respond to your partner/spouse, can help you make positive changes. The Gottman Institute identifies the Four Horseman, the responses to conflict in a relationship, that can lead to apocalyptic results. Luckily there are antidotes to keep this from happening, to help bring back warmth in your home.
