The Relationship Cure

"The Relationship Cure" is a book by John Gottman that emphasizes the importance of building strong, healthy relationships through emotional connection. It introduces the concept of "emotional bids," which are small gestures or expressions that seek attention, support, or affection from others. The key to improving relationships lies in recognizing and responding positively to these bids. Gottman outlines various strategies for enhancing communication, deepening intimacy, and resolving conflicts, ultimately suggesting that the quality of our relationships significantly impacts our overall happiness and well-being.
