Contempt can be a disruptive and divisive force in marriage. It often reveals itself in the form of judgment and usually implies that one's thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and feelings are minimized. Contempt can become an embedded pattern for many couples experiencing a sense of disconnect and lack of emotional intimacy.

Listen in as Dr. Steve and Lisa Call offer insight into how contempt reveals itself and helpful responses to our contempt that invite connection rather than perpetuate disconnection.
