"Sex also gets better as we are willing to embrace the honesty and vulnerability of our humanity. When we are not trying to prove ourselves to be right or good enough in our sex lives, we are more available to each other. Masks and facades fall away, and we can be truly intimate. Honest intimacy keeps sex connected and evolving, allowing us to love and be loved by our partners in profound ways." -Shana James

Dr. Gottman’s research shows that couples who start arguments gently are more likely to manage conflict effectively, without harming the relationship. One of the hardest things to do in a relationship is to be nice to your partner when you’re upset with them. It’s also one of the most important moments to be kind.

One of the things that really stands out for Dr. John Gottman after 5 decades of studying relationships is that instead of asking "what qualities do I want in a partner?", it's more effective to ask "what's it like and how do I feel when we're together?"

Core needs are "must haves" not, "would be nice to have." To successfully compromise, you need to explore what your core needs on the issue are vs. where you can be more flexible. On the Gottman Relationship Blog, Anna Aslanian, LMFT, shares an example of compromising that may help give you a better understanding of how to do this in your own life.

The third and final part of our requests vs. boundaries vs. ultimatum series! Both requests & boundaries are great tools for us to use if we know what to expect from each. Ultimatums, however, can be very different. When issued with anger and the intent to control others, however, a boundary can become an ultimatium, which is much less likely to be enforced and more likely to try and control their behavior, instead of your own.
