In what may seem like a small, everyday exchange, her friend’s reaction was an important indicator for their relationship: She had responded to Caribardi’s “bid for connection,” a term coined by relationship experts at the Gottman Institute in Seattle. Whether the bid is big or small doesn’t matter — what is important is the other person’s response, Schwartz Gottman said. How to recognize a ‘bid for connection’The basis of “bids for connection” stems from the Gottmans’ “Love Lab” research, which started in 1986 and tracked couples for six years. Schwartz Gottman said this test is a good example of the importance of “turning toward” a partner, one of the three responses someone can have to a bid. Schwartz Gottman recommends communicating those feelings directly and honestly to the partner, instead of lashing out with a “turning against” response.

We've also been happily married to each other for 35 years, so we know a thing or two about how to build a successful, long-lasting relationship. Still, there is one thing we've learned to never ever do: fight when we are emotionally flooded. These behaviors can harm both your partner's trust in you and the foundations of your relationship.
In our 50 years working as psychologists, we've studied more than 40,000 partners about to start couples therapy. Ultimately, we've found that there's one thing successful couples never do: take each other for granted. A lack of appreciation can destroy a relationshipSaying "thank you" helps, but building a culture of appreciation requires much more than that. They focus on everything that their partner is doing wrong and criticize each other for it. When couples caught in this negative spiral, the relationship breakers that we call the "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" come galloping.
As a psychologist and sexologist, we've been studying relationships for more than 50 years combined, and we've found that no matter how you slice it, most of them fail because of poor communication. ", psychologist Dr. John Gottman identifies the four most problematic types of communication in relationships, based on his studies of 40,000 couples: Contempt: Expressing a lack of respect for our partners (e.g., name-calling, eye-rolling, ridiculing). Of these four, Gottman says, the biggest predictor of a failed relationship is contempt. How contempt destroys relationshipsContempt makes it impossible for partners to feel like they have each other's back. This often stems from individuals feeling that they are standing up for themselves, which is usually a healthy thing to do.
Psychologists Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, who studied 40,000 couples, found those simple words were the No. For starters, saying "thank you" is good for your health — no matter the context.

Two out of every three workers surveyed said their manager could improve at giving in-the-moment, positive feedback. Managers can start by saying "thank you" for small, everyday tasks.
