Repair attempts are also bids for connection. Knowing what they look and sound like can help you communicate more effectively in your relationship. 💞

It’s National Kissing Day. So let’s talk about the six second kiss. 💋

Not rushed. Not distracted. Just six seconds of presence. Dr. Gottman calls it a daily ritual for a reason. It builds connection, lowers stress, and reminds you that you’re in this together.

So, have you had your six second kiss today?
