Relationship expert John Gottman identifies contempt as the strongest predictor of divorce while establishing a critical 5:1 ratio of positive-to-negative interactions required for marital stability. Forensic psychologist Shannon Curry expands on these dynamics by linking long-term compatibility to specific personality traits like conscientiousness and low neuroticism, while also examining the ethical complexities of infidelity disclosure and the utility of the MMPI-2 in legal evaluations. Together, their work outlines a framework for relationship longevity that balances evolutionary neurochemistry with practical repair strategies, emphasizing that conscious choices to maintain perspective are essential for sustaining love.
