Use scientifically proven methods to improve your relationship. And laugh at the Kardashians doing it exactly wrong in example videos of what not to do.

Now I’m guessing you probably want to know what these four behaviors — or, as Gottman and Levenson call them, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse — actually are. These four toxic behaviors are called contempt, criticism, stonewalling, and defensiveness.
