Buds for Connection & Turning Towards Each Other in Relationships
When partners in a relationship respond and turn towards each other's bids for connection, whether small or big, it significantly impacts the quality of their friendship, passion, romance, and handling conflicts. Successful couples turn towards each other 86% of the time, even for minor things like passing butter, while unsuccessful couples only do so 33% of the time. Maintaining a high level of turning towards each other leads to more access to humor, reduced physiological arousal during conflicts, and an overall positive relationship. Research shows that relationships improve with time as partners' turning towards each other becomes more valued and crucial over the years.
