Here's what keeps a couple happy and healthy—and how to get more of it in your own relationship, writes jwebbphd
Way back in 2001, a study by Gottman, Levensen, and Woodin showed that contemptuous, disgusted, and other negative facial expressions observed in a marriage are a predictor of not only the couple’s future likelihood of separation but also each spouse’s future problems with their physical health.
So, positivity resonance is a moment in which you share a positive emotion together, requiring no words, that synchronizes your heartbeats and other physical processes. Here are three examples: Arriving home from work, Brooke finds her husband, Jeff, on the couch with their twin toddlers climbing all over him, and he looks tired. Tossing her briefcase on the floor, she yells, “Dogpile!” and throws herself on the floor, still in her silk dress. Both kids immediately abandon their dad and jump onto Brooke, who starts tickling them.
Show appreciation for your partner. An appreciated spouse is typically a happy spouse. Knowing and feeling that your partner appreciates you is a soothing balm that can help couples weather difficult times and stay bonded. It’s the diametric opposite of taking your partner for granted and sets the stage for positivity resonance.
