The Importance of Turning Towards

Studies have shown that couples who turn towards each other’s bids for connection most of the time have stronger, more lasting relationships.

For instance, couples who stayed married were found to turn towards each other’s bids 86% of the time, while those who divorced only did so 33% of the time.

This highlights that responsiveness nurtures relationships, while dismissiveness can harm them. Paying attention to these small moments can make a big difference in keeping a relationship healthy.
