Building a culture of appreciation fosters positivity in relationships from "summary" of The Relationship Cure by John Gottman, PhD,Joan DeClaire

In our relationships, it is crucial to cultivate a culture of appreciation. When we take the time to acknowledge and express gratitude for the positive aspects of our partner, we are fostering a sense of positivity that can have a profound impact on the dynamics of the relationship. By showing appreciation for our partner's efforts, qualities, and gestures, we are creating an environment of warmth and mutual respect. Appreciation is a powerful tool that can strengthen the emotional bond between partners. When we feel valued and recognized for our contributions, we are more likely to feel connected to our partner and motivated to continue investing in the relationship. By building a culture of appreciation, we are laying the foundation for a healthy and fulfilling partnership. Furthermore, expressing appreciation can also help to counteract negative interactions that may arise in relationships. When conflicts or disagreements occur, having a reservoir of positive feelings and experiences to draw from can help to buffer the impact of the negativity. By highlighting the things we appreciate about our partner, we are reminding ourselves of the reasons we are committed to the relationship. In addition, practicing appreciation can create a ripple effect of positivity in the relationship. When we consistently express gratitude and acknowledgment, we are more likely to receive similar gestures in return. This reciprocal cycle of appreciation can lead to increased feelings of love, support, and satisfaction in the relationship.
  1. Building a culture of appreciation is a simple yet powerful way to nurture the emotional connection between partners. By making an effort to notice and celebrate the positive aspects of our relationship, we are creating a foundation of positivity that can help to sustain and deepen the bond over time.
