A secure-functioning relationship is a two-person system in which both partners are equals. It is based on fairness, justice, and sensitivity for one another. 💞

[The Gottman Institute @GottmanInst]

"Relationships, and especially marriages, require a growth mindset. You are not setting up your life with the one, you are setting it up with some one. From there, you work on perfecting communication and adoration and appreciation of eccentricities." https://t.co/XDqWT1vkOT

[Dr. Stan Tatkin @DrStanTatkin]

Being fully transparent with each other will make your relationship easier. Full transparency is less work and less stressful than keeping secrets.

Your relationship is more important than being right

[The Gottman Institute @GottmanInst]

Every relationship requires work to keep romance alive. The most successful partners make the effort fun by following these proven habits. https://t.co/IquzbQLYfC

[The Gottman Institute @GottmanInst]

"Life will be really difficult at times, which is why it is so important to choose a partner who can be playful with you, and will make you laugh. This element of my marriage has brought me and my wife through some difficult seasons." https://t.co/bHS7Ds2K5K

[Dr. Stan Tatkin @DrStanTatkin]

You may want to be right, but having to be being right may cost you your relationship. Suck it up and admit when you're wrong.

Want to be emotionally strong? Stop trying to "stay positive." https://t.co/sLUzRZ4xsT

Outdated science isn’t going to improve our sex lives. But embracing our differences — working with our sexuality, rather than against it — will. https://t.co/PbhyHfeQPO

Fights are survivable as long as you avoid threatening to end the relationship.

Teaching children to control their emotions, especially anger, is difficult. We look at how another culture accomplishes this and learn about a powerful tool that American parents may be overlooking. https://t.co/cT6pcus9wt

I cannot oversell the importance of touch & eye contact. The exciting love you and your partner felt at the beginning of your relationship can be recreated throughout your lives together. One of the best ways is to spend time holding each other and gazing into each other’s eyes.

[The Gottman Institute @GottmanInst]

"As I committed to therapy, I made a big decision: to set my twice weekly appointments on my work calendar to public. So when people look for times to meet with me or to book meetings I’m needed at, they see those sessions." https://t.co/RwG6FZaxRK
