"And if you don't yet, you can start implementing them and find that you'll grow stronger both individually and as a unit." Here are six phrases successful couples use, according to relationships therapists. Saying, "It's understandable you feel that way," can be reassuring and show you have empathy, Morin says.

☆ 4 key pieces of relationship advice from married psychologists who have worked with 40,000 couples
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-28 | by ( Aditi Shrikant | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Renowned psychologists John and Julie Gottman have interviewed 40,000 couples in quest to find out what makes love last. Through their research at The Gottman Institute, they've learned how successful relationships survive conflict and express affection. In an interview with psychotherapist and bestselling author Esther Perel, The Gottmans said one commonality most successful couples had was their ability to do "repairs." One of the Gottman's most concrete finding is that in successful couples, the ratio of positive to negative interactions during a conflict is five to one. And lo and behold: it was the couples who had maintained at least a five-to-one ratio (or more!)

☆ How ‘bids for connection’ can make or break a relationship

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.

They have also studied more than 40,000 couples who are about to begin couples therapy. Through their research they learned that just because a fight is reoccurring doesn't mean it has to be detrimental. "So when we think about fighting right, whether talking about a perpetual problem or a solvable problem, what is the biggest mistake that the disasters of relationships make?" John Gottman said at a TED Talk in April. Some problems are more situational while others seem to linger, but the healthy way to handle them is the same.
