Developing Habits for Relationship Success

Avoid the single most destructive attitude in a relationship.

Learn the three mistaken assumptions almost everyone makes about their partners.

Discover the five core differences responsible for almost every conflict.

Practice the two essential ingredients of relationship success.

Most people believe that they have the abilities needed to make their relationships go well.

But available evidence suggests that this is wishful thinking.

Studies suggest that most people don’t meet the prerequisites for relationship success. It’s not surprising then, that half of all people who marry in the U.S. eventually divorce, and at least half of the couples who stick it out are unhappy with their relationships.

Most of us don’t have the habits needed to make our relationships thrive over the long haul. In fact, most people don’t even know what these crucial habits are.

But studies show that they are not optional.

If you want your relationship to go well, you simply must have them.

The PET-C Method

Detailed in the books, Emotional Intelligence in Couple Therapy, and Developing Habits for Relationship Success, The PET-C Method is scientifically-based, drawing from long-term research studies that have identified exactly how people who are good at getting their partners to treat them well go about doing it.

When you feel that your partner is doing something that’s selfish or insensitive, it might seem to you that s/he is the one who needs to change. But studies suggest that the most potent predictor of your partner’s willingness to change is your reaction to his or her selfish or insensitive behavior.

One of the habits that are not optional involves the ability to react effectively when your partner says or does things that you don’t like.

The book Developing Habits for Relationship Success will guide you step-by-step in learning about the set of habits that are so highly predictive of relationship success.
