If you're on the quest to becoming a stellar partner, we've got you covered. We dish out some stellar tips and scripts to level up your relationship game, and show you how to find a top-notch therapist.

Ever heard of the Gottman Institute? We break down their relationship research, especially the intriguing concept of "turning toward" or "turning against" your partner's bids, and the profound ripple effect it has on your love story.
