This is a YouTube video titled "3 BIGGEST Killers of A Relationship!" containing a conversation recorded on July 22, 2025, featuring Lewis Howes and another speaker discussing the major factors that can harm relationships, such as resentment, stress, and taking each other for granted.

What would you say then do you think are the three biggest killers of a relationship?
Resentment. You know, which leads then to contempt. Resentment is really bad. And resentment comes because people, there's a couple of reasons. Either they're not speaking the truth, they're not telling the truth and. Or they have. Their expectations are out of control. Like, I expect my partner to just know how I'm feeling rather than for me to express what I'm feeling. They should just know if they really loved me.
No, that's the worst thing.
It's the worst. So resentment is a killer. Stress is a killer. It's not a little bit of stress. It's the, like you said, the consistently feeling off, stressed, overwhelmed and not doing anything about it. Stress changes the way that you see things. It changes your biology. It changes everything. And so stress destroys relationships. So resentment, stress the other killers of relationship. I mean, taking each other for granted, forgetting that your partner is a gift, not a given.
