But we read really good stuff to each other, and then we talk while looking into each other's eyes. matched

It's kind of a miracle, actually, but it's not. matched

Well, I mean, we still do all that stuff. matched

We check in a lot and we work with couples. matched

I mean, it's one of the things that we do. matched

So it's kind of off brand if we're, you know, at a kilter with each other. matched

So we're making sure that we're doing all the stuff that we recommend. matched

Two other protocols. matched

So the first two protocols are staring into each other's eyes and reading to each other. matched

The other protocols that are really important are number one is having fun as opposed to rehearsing grievances. matched

That's, man, that one is really critical because what a lot of couples do is that they fell in love because they had so much fun together. matched

But when they're having trouble, all they do is they talk about the things that are bothering them, the things that are bothering each other. matched

So having more fun. matched

And the last one is sort of the ABT rule, always be touching. matched

That's that, oh, man, I'll defend you. matched

I'll fight a tiger for you. matched

And you get it a lot when your partner touches you, non-sexual touch. matched

Like, you know, just touching while holding hands while you're watching television or something like that. matched

So, or touch, more touch, more touch. matched
