The Single Greatest Predictor of Divorce is...

   • Why your Avoidant partner is Stonewal...  
What is the single greatest predictor of divorce? The experts tell us, it's not simply THAT we get into conflict, it's all about HOW we handle conflict together and just as important, what was our relationship like before the conflict even started? Did we have Trust, and Intimacy, and Emotional connection? Did we have a culture of Mutual Respect and Honesty? Did we have a habit of turning towards each other and being vulnerable with each other? Or were we too afraid to do that because our partner had dismissed or invalidated us in the past? We're we able to take accountability and repair any unintentional hurt? Or did we never truly resolve those wounds? Do we tend to only think about ourselves? All of these contribute to whether our relationship succeeds or not.
