**The Simple Habit That Makes or Breaks Your Relationship**  
*Straight from the research of Dr. John Gottman*

What if one tiny, almost invisible habit was the difference between relationship bliss… and a total emotional dumpster fire?

In this quick-hitting episode, Dr. John drops a truth bomb from Dr. John Gottman — the godfather of couples research — who tracked couples over six years to uncover what separated the happily-ever-after crowd from the headed-for-divorce squad.

Spoiler: it’s not how much sex you’re having, how often you argue, or how “compatible” you are.

It all comes down to how you respond to your partner’s *bids for connection* — those small, everyday moments where they reach for your attention, affection, or acknowledgment.

Nail this, and you're gold. Miss it consistently? You're in trouble.

This one's short, actionable, and relationship-changing. Don’t sleep on it.

Listen. Learn. Turn toward your partner. Or don’t — and wonder why things feel cold, distant, or like a ticking time bomb.  
No pressure. 💥❤️
