Episode 24 - John Gottman on Irritation

John Gottman is a relationship expert, clinical psychologist, and author and he has developed a system whereby he attempts to predict the likelihood of relationship success in the future based on characteristics of that relationship today.  He has also identified what he calls the Four Horsemen, a metaphor for those behaviors which spell the end of a relationship. 

In this episode, I examine a quote of his, taken from Malcolm Gladwell's bestseller Blink.  I also explore the Four Horsemen and tie it all back to how we might improve our relationships and avoid the pitfalls that lead to heartache.
