This episode got personal fast.

Steve and I have been together for 30 years and 2020 was probably the most difficult season of our marriage. The stress of trying to keep our kids safe while attending to their need for connection, worrying about our parents' wellbeing, trying to make work work — it was completely overwhelming.

Drs. John and Julie Gottman have dedicated their careers to helping people love and take care of each other. Their work is research-based and life-changing.

After decades of study, the Gottmans and their colleagues at The Gottman Institute can predict with 90% accuracy whether a couple will stay together after observing the first 3 minutes of an argument. That's unheard of in the social sciences.

The conversation is a game-changer.

The magic ratio ❤️

Sweeten your connection with the Magic Ratio. 🥧

Healthy relationships aren’t free from conflict. What matters is how you repair and reconnect afterward. Research shows that couples who stay strong have something in common, they balance one negative interaction with at least five positive ones. Think appreciation, laughter, affection, or simply listening when it matters.

This week, notice the little moments that tip the scale toward connection. What can you add to your 5:1 recipe today? 💛
