Question

When she is angry or stressed, jackie confides in her best friend rather than her husband. which of gottman's marriage principles does this violate? question 8 options: overcoming gridlock nurturing fondness and admiration solving solvable conflicts turning toward each other instead of away?

Answer 1

The correct answer is tuning toward each other instead of away.
When Jackie confides in her best friend, her husband may feel a bit left out of their life. According to Gottman and his theory, she should also let her husband know about her feelings, and not only her friend, because otherwise this may cause problems in their marriage and alienate them from each other.
