- Betcha didn't know - What’s
the secret of relationship success?
Earlier this year, eminent marriage therapist John Gottman released a new book entitled The
Science of Trust: Emotional Attunement for Couples. Based upon his work with couples, as
well as statistical analysis, marriage guru, Gottman determined that, “It’s the
balance between positive and negative emotional interactions in a marriage that
determines its well-being - whether the good moments of mutual pleasure,
passion, humor, support, kindness, and generosity outweigh the bad moments of
complaining, criticism, anger, disgust, contempt, defensiveness, and coldness.” Those couples that succeed in their marriages
enjoy an overriding proportion of positive over negative sentiment.
Wouldn’t it
be great if we could reduce the complexity of interpersonal relationships into
a ratio or a formula? Gottman arrived at
a 5 to 1 ratio of positive over negative interactions. For all the study… and all the research…, and
all of science which has gone into understanding
the secrets of successful marriage, this is what they come up with – BE NICE!?
- Betcha didn't know - Relationships are Complex
A Little
Relational Humor – THE GENIE
A man was
walking along the beach and found a bottle.
He opened it, and a genie appeared and thanked the man for letting him
out. The genie said, "For your kindness I will grant you one wish, but only
one." The man thought for a minute
and said, "I have always wanted to go to Hawaii but have never been able
to because I'm afraid of flying and ships make me ill. So I wish for a road to be built from here to
Hawaii."
The genie
thought for a few minutes and said, "No, I don't think I can do that. Just
think of all the work involved with the pilings needed to hold up the highway
and how deep they would have to be to reach the bottom of the ocean. Think of all of the pavement that would be
needed. No, that is just too much to ask."
The man then
told the genie, "There is one other thing that I have always wanted. I’d like to be able to understand women. What
makes them laugh and cry? Why are they temperamental? Why are they so difficult to get along with? Basically, what makes them tick?"
The genie
considered for a few minutes and said, "So, do you want two lanes or
four?"
- Betcha didn't know - A poll released by the Pew Research Center in late 2010 found that 39 percent of American adults believe that marriage has become obsolete, a figure that has risen from 28 percent in 1979. Wow! Whaddayouthink?
- Betcha didn't know - WellSpring offers help for those who struggle with Eating Disorders"!

…Apply
this principle to marital communication.
In the middle of a conflict, listen for the meaning
instead of nit-picking and tripping over the fine points.
- Betcha didn't know that WellSpring was founded out of, and is currently a ministry division of Central Ohio Youth For Christ.
