Episode notes
Daily Admiration Habit
- Do a daily admiration practice and name three things your partner did that day you appreciate.
- Matt Townsend recommends sharing or writing them each night so positives get noticed and then multiply in the relationship.
Turn Toward Bids To Rebuild Synchronicity
- Turning toward each other's bids creates neural attunement and shared emotions through repeated micro-moments.
- Matt Townsend cites Gottman's finding that healthy couples turn toward bids ~83% of the time, while at-risk couples do so under 35%.
Serve Daily With A 'Daily Special'
- Do a daily 'daily special' by asking each morning what one thing you can do to love your partner their way and then do it.
- Townsend says service creates love: loving grows when you act first without expecting return, like getting up at night for a child.
