In every relationship, disagreements and conflicts are inevitable. It's completely natural for individuals with different perspectives, needs, and personalities to occasionally clash. However, the way we express our dissatisfaction or concerns can make all the difference between constructive communication and destructive arguments. Criticism, when not handled with care, can easily erode the foundations of a relationship. This is where the principles of Gottman Couples Therapy come into play, offering guidance on how to complain to your partner in a healthy and productive way.
