Scientists have named a simple habit that can help save a marriage if it is turned into a ritual.
To do this, spouses are asked to perform a simple action that will take them less than a minute, or more precisely 6 seconds.
A six-second kiss is precisely that secret psychological trick that allows you to maintain a healthy relationship, reports the publication “ Doctor Peter ”.
This is quite enough to calm down and understand that there is a person next to you whom you love.
According to spouses who practice this system, after a kiss they feel rested.
The method was first proposed by psychologists John and Julie Gottman.
Before that, they studied relationships between men and women for 30 years – more than 3,000 couples in total.
According to their data, during this short time, oxytocin is released, which calms and strengthens the trust of partners.
Another expert, Paul Zak, believes that a kiss can be replaced by hugs, but you will have to spend a little more time next to each other – 20 seconds.
In order to produce the coveted hormone oxytocin, the specialist advises spouses to hug at least eight times a day.
It is also scientifically proven that men should give their wives a light neck and shoulder massage or hold hands for 10 minutes.
The main thing is that these techniques become a habit and bring pleasure to the spouses.
