Gridlock is when you and your spouse have gotten to a point where as the word suggests, you are locked down into a opposing positions and can't resolve the issue.
You know you have Gridlock if :
1. You have had the same argument again and again with no resolution.
2. Neither of you can address the issue with humor, empathy, or affection.
3. The issue is becoming more polarizing as time goes on.
4. Compromise seems impossible because it would mean selling out - giving up something important and core to your beliefs, values, or sense of self.
Sometimes it take professional help to sit down and brainstorm together how to break out of gridlock but other times just know you are in a stuck position is the first step to getting out.
