Dewane,
So glad to make you think and reflect. Can’t ask for much more than that. Keep me posted on your epiphanies!

“There is extensive research that couples that have a ratio of five positive interactions for every one negative interaction are significantly more likely to stay together.”

So very true! I am looking forward to further posts on this Adam!

Brenda,
You are not the only one that has suggested communication. It’s an important tool for sure, it’s just not a QUALITY! More will be revealed this week on my next blog post on teh 3 C’s!
Thanks so much for commenting,
Adam

Dr. this is some interesting statistics you have cited here. I guess if more people were aware of the 5:1 ratio they would make a conscious effort to achieve it. Now your 3 c’s surprised me. I was positive that communication would be amongst them looking forward to that post.

Beth,
Nothing wrong with being an idealist, we need more of them on the planet! AND, couples need to be taught more tools for creating intimacy and connection with each other, so that they can more fully SHARE their love. If their love is blocked or can’t be expressed, then how can it be experienced?
Take care,
Adam

Hmm, interesting thoughts here. Maybe I’m an idealist, but I think that love IS enough. I just think most people aren’t really connected to everything that love entails. Not just loving our partners, both their strengths and their weaknesses and the places where we can meet and assist one another, but loving ourselves. Making all our decisions from a place of love, something that is not always the easiest of options, would really change everything. But yes, that’s the idealist in me talking, I know.

Thanks Adam, I look forward to your next post…when I read the 3 C’s, I instantly thought Communication. My vote is for the 4 C’s!
