Lesson 33: Couple/Partner Relationships Pt. 1: Slide 16
The Only Thing That Matters
- Do you blame your partner for the problems
in your relationship?
- If so, you are in for a tough time
- Self-blame is not the answer either because it can trigger guilt, anxiety, depression, and giving up
- If you’re willing to examine your own role in the problem, the odds for a rewarding and successful relationship are high, now and in the future
- Personal responsibility, without any blame at all is the mindset that leads to successful relationships
