Be intentional about greetings (DW#554)
Todays marriage hack requires a time investment of 1 hour and 40 minutes per week (20 minutes a day x 5 working days)
What is the first thing that you do when you meet each other after spending time apart during the day?
Here are the two rituals that yield great benefits for your relationships.
1) The 6 second kiss. Share a hug and kiss that lasts at least six seconds. Dr. Gottman calls this a "kiss with potential." The six-second kiss is a ritual of connection that is worth coming home to.Time investment can be as little as six seconds a day. Really.
2) The 20-minute stress-reducing conversation. Talk to each other about the day’s happenings. Listen and empathize with your partner. Let them know that you understand the stressors and issues that they are currently facing. Take their side (Do NOT try to get them to see another perspective at this time). This is NOT the time to give advice!
