Why six seconds? Because in those six seconds, everything slows down. It’s a pause to focus on your partner, to share a moment that says, "You matter to me."

The Six-Second Kiss is more than a kiss, it is a meaningful ritual of connection. Rooted in Dr. John Gottman’s research, this small but intentional act demonstrates how brief moments of attention and affection can ignite intimacy, build trust, and strengthen emotional bonds.

Think of it as a love note written without words. Six seconds to turn toward your partner, no matter how hectic life gets. Next time, let it linger and feel the difference.

What is a love map?
"Love Map" is the term for that part of your brain where you store all the personally important information about your partner’s life. It’s that simple: knowing the little things about your partner’s inner world creates a strong foundation for your friendship and intimacy.
Love Maps are your ongoing and ever-evolving understanding of your partner. You should update your Love Maps regularly.

This month, Love Notes Subscribers will receive a free tool to help chart their partner's love map.
