Posted On: May 03, 2026

There are all kinds of behaviors and qualities that make a good partnership, all of which are different depending on the people and circumstances.

When Is Divorce a Solution to Marriage Problems?

Posted On: April 27, 2026

Building and sustaining a loving marriage is one of the most—maybe even the most—important life focus. Why? Much research has established that marriage generally brings major benefits to participants' lives. Married folks, statistically, have better physical health, enjoy more feelings of well-being (emotional health), and even end up better off financially.

Still, when marriage partners argue, engage in behaviors that their spouse finds unacceptable, or repeatedly bump up against differences that cause ongoing tensions, the conflicts can result in a marriage that creates more stress than satisfaction.

With that in mind, Is divorce ever a legitimate part of a win-win solution? Here's some current thinking on that question.

11 Things People In Bad Marriages Do When They're Alone That They Never Tell Anyone About

Posted On: April 19, 2026

Considering that miserable, bad marriages are often fueled by a fear of loneliness, family obligations, and history, it's not surprising that many couples and partners feel entirely isolated and alone most of the time. They're grappling with a million inner feelings and complex situations, from shame to disconnection, that make it impossible for them to feel like anyone could understand what they're going through.

Even the small things people in bad marriages do when they're alone that they never tell anyone about don't have to be fueled by guilt and shame. So, if that's you, let this be your reminder that you're not a bad person because you're in a bad relationship. Your circumstances don't have to define you. Let them remind you of what you deserve and what needs to be said, instead of stewing in blame, resentment, and guilt forever.

Here are 11 things people in bad marriages do when they're alone that they never tell anyone about.

Posted On: April 08, 2026

You might’ve heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, as depicted in the Bible’s Book of Revelation. But are you familiar with the Four Horsemen of Divorce?

It’s a concept developed by psychologists John and Julie Gottman to describe four communication patterns that can quietly ― and sometimes not so quietly ― erode a relationship: criticism, contempt, defensiveness and stonewalling.

These four behaviors are powerful predictors of relationship breakdown.
