Stop Contempt Before It Destroys Your Marriage —Learn the Antidote to Criticism, Blame, and Disconnection
The Problem:
Contempt feels powerful. It feels like honesty. It feels like you’re finally telling the truth.
But it comes at a cost: every sarcastic jab, every sigh of disgust, every “you always” creates walls instead of bridges.
And after betrayal, those walls turn into fortresses. The betrayed spouse already feels unsafe, unwanted, and “not enough.” Contempt drives the wound even deeper—on both sides.
Gottman’s research calls contempt the strongest predictor of divorce, because it doesn’t just hurt feelings. It kills emotional safety.
But contempt isn’t the real truth.
Underneath contempt are real feelings: grief, hurt, fear, longing.
This Contempt Workbook gives you the tools to uncover those emotions and express them in a way that builds connection, not destruction.
