229. What Healthy Couples Actually Do Part II
It's one thing to want a healthy relationship—it's another to actually build one. In Part II of their deep dive on relationship dynamics, Anna and Tim break down the practical, research-backed habits that make healthy couples thrive.
Join Anna and Tim as they explore the concept of "bids for connection" from Gottman theory, how to turn toward (instead of away or against) your partner, and the small daily actions that strengthen emotional intimacy. Whether you're in a long-term relationship or just starting out, this episode is packed with tools to help you connect better and fight smarter.
This episode covers:
- What “bids for connection” are and how to respond to them
- The difference between turning toward, away, and against your partner
- How distractions, dismissal, and criticism damage connection
- Ways to deepen emotional intimacy through small daily actions
- How to bring this practice into parenting, friendships, and work life
- Gottman’s Four Horsemen and what they predict about relationships
- Why communication skills matter more than compatibility
Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
