    We have a code word for repair attempts, if either one of us says, "You're the one" the other replies,"No, you're the one". it reminds us that blaming never works and to focus on the issue not the person. Happily married 35 years.

      1. make love maps
      2. express fondness and admiration
      3. turn towards bids
      4. accept influence from partner
      5. solve solvable problems
      6. resolve gridlock
      7. create shared meaning
      the video goes into more detail and provides actionable advice, but there's plenty of articles about the same stuff on the gottman institute's website and others

    All it takes is "LUCK"!
    Love, understanding, caring, kindness. Or in this case we might switch the caring to "compromise".
    Two Best skill to have to make a relationship work-
    1.Communication
    2.Listening
    Secondary skill- Touch
    Touch varies given the spectrum of the relationship, but successful mastering the skill of Touch can help you amplify the bonds you make within the relationships you build.
    From high fives, to backrubs, to hugs, and shoulder pats, touch helps us reinforce the emotions and experience we are feeling and sharing.

    Question for Laura, if there's any way of raising my virtual hand: Any suggestions if your partner asks for a LOT of "bids"? For anyone who didn't watch the full video but might have an opinion, a "bid" as Laura described it is like a request for connection. For example, "Wow it's sunny today hm!?" or "I'm going to put this plant over here" (basically anything that is ok to say "Mm hmm" or "Ok" to i.e. your partner is simply looking for an emotional acknowledgement). Laura or anyone else have thoughts on what to do if your partner is the type of person who needs a LOT of those?

    I loved most of the talk -
    But when the husband asks:
    Why are you always manipulating me into trying to stay in during Monday nights(when she knows he's going to hang out with the guys)
    He's raising an important issue that needs to be addressed.
    It could very well be that the wife has a serious passive aggressive problem.
    She constantly tries to undermine his expressed desire to spend a weekly meeting with his friends + she's saying that he is turning against her which transfers the responsibility for her aggression unto him.
    So offering to make him dinner is not a sweet and innocent thing to do under those circumstances.

    • @NicoleHurka
      @NicoleHurka Před 5 lety +3

      Your point would be valid if in fact the wife did manipulate him regularly. Her example served the purpose of showing how the husband could turn against* (which is more aggressive than turning away) from the wife. Based on the purpose of the example, I think it would be more logical to assume the wife had no malicious intent & that the reason the husband responded aggressively was because he was in a rush & flustered, & as a result turned against (I think the speaker specifically wanted to show [in other words] a situation where someone [the wife] made a thoughtful gesture AKA "bid" but regardless of the reason [in this case he's in a rush] the husband turns against). Assuming and accusing the other of manipulation is a very defensive way to approach the believed issue (even if it had a logical basis) and is surely not the most effective way to achieve resolve. *I initially thought her example was illustrative of turning away but now that I realize that it was that of turning against, I do see your point a bit more because I feel like for someone to respond so defensively it might take more than simply being in a rush, but I guess this is all up to interpretation & perhaps she could have given a better example *Also just discovered she provides a suggestion on a better way the husband could have responded @ 31:12 (looks like this example had a lot of us thinking)

      you didn't understand what she meant by turning against a partner. even if you are perceiving your partner as being manipulative, saying "you are manipulating me" is not a good way of dealing with the problem. you are in fact turning against the partner, who might not be manipulating you and in fact might miss your company, or feel lonely, or need companionship that day due to a personal issue the partner simply didn't know how to share. if you practiced empathy and said something along the lines of "i have an appointment with my friends. are you feeling okay? is there a reason why you would need my company today even though i have a commitment already?" if the person is in fact manipulative, empathy is very disarming (w/o bending to their needs if you have your own ofc). And if they're not manipulative, you just opened the door so they can share their concerns and needs with you in that moment. Pay attention to the whole video, it's actually very informative and useful for this precise, specific twisting you made of her general example.

    She says 80% of those who "shut down" are men, and she says their heart rate, sweat, and breathing were spiking, but she doesn't say what the women were doing that caused it. She simply says that shutting down makes it worse. That it's better to say "I'm not having this conversation now." But usually if you do that, the woman will start flailing with her fists.

    • @kirstinstrand6292

      @@Iksvomid Excellent. Generalizing here...Women (again generally) seek to resolve heated issues in the moment where men seek to first calm themselves down and disengage from flareups. However if she starts chasing him around the house, blaming him for not engaging her, especially late at night, particularly after drinking, he may turn on her physically to get her verbal attacks to stop. Few men choose ever to abuse but reigning in emotions after he has been cornered, exhausted and verbally disorganized, is a bit more challenging than remembering to say oh, I'll have this conversation later, good night. If you find a partner who will back down, give you space, process at the right time consistently, you are truly blessed.

    Marriage was working when women didnt easily have a chance to support herself and divorce was a disgrace. Take out those two variables then there is no reason for two human beings to sacrifice their emotion to maintain a marriage. And for good reason, why would they? I think Americans should just embrace the modern lifestyle which is co-parenting. Simply have a casual co-parenting relationship with your partner and stop mystifying marriage so much. This all "true love" bullshit needs to stop now.

    • @Iksvomid
