Turning Towards

The Gottman Method emphasizes the importance of “turning towards” your partner as a way to build and maintain emotional connection. This concept involves recognizing and responding to your partner’s bids for attention, affection, and support, which can be as simple as acknowledging a comment or offering a kind gesture.

By consistently turning towards each other, couples can create a foundation of trust and intimacy, making it easier to navigate conflicts and challenges together. This practice encourages positive interactions and reinforces the bond between partners, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more resilient relationship.
