Harnessing Gratitude: The Secret to Lasting Love

In this episode of 'Love Isn't Enough,' Dr. John Schinnerer and Joree Rose, LMFT, discuss the importance of appreciation and gratitude for loving, thriving relationships. They explore how many couples tend to neglect these practices, despite their effectiveness in fostering positive emotions and connection. The hosts discuss key concepts such as the negativity bias, the importance of a positive to negative interaction ratio, and ways to build a culture of gratitude, especially when it may feel hard to access or receive. They also offer practical advice on expressing appreciation, even during conflicts, and the significance of role modeling gratitude for children. The episode concludes with them sharing various gratitude exercises, including the after-dark gratitude massage.
