Fatherhood in a Technological World – Message #62
There are four behaviors that will negatively affect your intimate relationships unless you can identify and restrain them before they cause serious damage.
You can remember those 4 horsemen of the relationship-apocalypse by the acronym CDCS.
Criticism
Defensiveness
Contemptuousness
Stonewalling
In the video, I offer some explanations for each of the four.
We are all subject to falling into these behaviors from time to time, but if you find yourself habitually stuck in one or more of these traps, you may want to ask yourself what you hope to gain by either tearing down or disrespecting your close relationships.
You may also want to ask yourself how your behavior will help strengthen your relationship and how it will help weather a storm in the future.
If you are exposing your child to an excessive amount of these 4 horsemen, you may ask yourself, “What is it I am teaching my child through my actions and how would I expect them to act in dealing with others in the same situation?”
I can assure you, your children will more than likely do what you do rather than do just what you say.
