Taking responsibility
Taking responsibility
Author Gay Hendricks says criticism and blame are the number one destroyers of intimacy in close relationships.
He and his wife went on a criticism and blame fast some years ago and their relationship blossomed as a result.
Nowadays, whenever they feel the desire to assign blame for anything, big or small, they practice taking individual responsibility.
Of course, it wasn't easy at first because they didn't realize how much they were addicted to criticizing and blaming one another.
But over time, they normalized taking responsibility.
If intrigued, see how many days you can go without criticizing or blaming anyone, and practice taking responsibility instead.
