5 Stops on the Road to Lasting Love
Know the Magic Ratio 5:1
- Kindness toward each other helps love last even when you disagree.
- When friendly exchanges outnumber hurtful ones 5 to 1, most couples will remain stable and happy.
Secret to Sex for Life
- Hot sex today doesn’t make passion last forever. Love cannot thrive on sex alone.
- The secret to great sex is emotional connection.
- When you feel emotionally close, you can make sparks fly anytime.
Celebrate Good Times
- Celebrate each other’s success. Savoring your victories is like a superfood for stronger intimate connection.
- Cheering for the good times has even greater positive impact than being there in sad times.
- Couples who celebrate when things go right feel more satisfaction, happiness, and have less conflict overall.
Are You Present?
- It’s tempting to blame each other during conflict. Most likely there’s a disconnect on both sides.
- Are you there for each other? Accessible, Responsive, and Engaged.
- When you ARE together against the disconnect you help each other stay loving through conflict.
Make a Love Map
- Learn your loved one’s likes, tastes, experiences. That’s your love map.
- Knowing your partner’s emotional life is a powerful love potion.
- The biggest factor (by 70%) in keeping sex, romance and passion vibrant is the quality of your friendship (based on your love map).
