Dive deep into the concept of 'stonewalling,' the fourth horseman of relationship breakdowns as identified by John Gottman. We discuss the emotional and physiological reasons behind stonewalling, its impact on relationships, and predominantly why men are more prone to it. We also explore strategies and antidotes to counteract this behavior to foster healthier communication and conflict resolution in marriages. With insights from Gottman's research and personal anecdotes, we aim to provide actionable advice to improve relationship dynamics and prevent long-term dissatisfaction.
