Did You Know?: Healthy Couples

Did you know that "In healthy, stable relationships couples have at least 5 positive interactions for every negative 1?"

Some suggested strategies are to interrupt a cycle of negativity by:

~calming yourself (taking time outs)
~learning to speak and listen non-defensively
~validating each other
~repeatedly practicing positive techniques

A marriage is more than two people sharing a space and juggling responsibilities. It is not something that happens just because two people made a commitment many years ago. It is more like a bank account. What we have set aside, prioritized, invested and withdrawn is what we find in it at the closing of each day.
