Why do we assume the worst about our partners when they make a simple mistake? Why do we only seem to notice the evidence that proves we're "right" in an argument? It's not bad intentions—it's cognitive bias.

Our minds are wired with mental shortcuts that, while efficient, can wreak havoc on our closest relationships. Our latest article, "Love, Logic, and Cognitive Traps," delves into the psychology behind our love lives, exploring:

😠 The Fundamental Attribution Error: How we turn a situation ("they're stuck in traffic") into a character flaw ("they're selfish").

🎬 The Peak-End Rule: The fascinating reason your memory of a shared vacation or a fight is probably inaccurate.
