Improving Relationships: Key to Well-Being

Improving relationships is crucial for personal well-being. Research by Dr. Julie Schwartz-Gopman and Dr. John Gottman shows that successful couples focus on positive interactions and maintain curiosity about their partners. They emphasize the importance of turning towards bids for connection and expressing gratitude for positive actions. They also highlight the significance of open communication to express needs positively, preventing unmet needs from turning into resentment. The key to a successful relationship lies in embracing interdependency, practicing effective conflict resolution, and nurturing love through positivity and appreciation.
