The Last Show with David Cooper, where we utilize nonlinear reverse inverse backward thinking protocols.

It sounds like this.

Yeah, so joint savoring, it really has two different parts to it that we think about.

So first of all, I would say savoring in general kind of means really slowing down to focus on and enhance positive experiences.

And if we think about joint savoring specifically, it involves that savoring process with a romantic partner.

So one part of that is kind of interacting in some way with your partner.

And so an example might be you're going on a nice walk together and you comment on how nice it is to spend time together.

Another part of that joint savoring is focusing on experiences from your relationship.

So one example would be maybe you're with your partner and you're looking through an old photo album or some pictures from your relationship together.

So we can say joint savoring kind of involves those two parts.

So having some kind of shared experience and then focusing on kind of memories or positive events from your relationship.

Yeah, so there's some differences when we're, you know, savoring together with our partner.

You know, one part of that is that, you know, we are focusing on experiences from our relationship.

And so not only are we really kind of enhancing the positive experiences from our life, but we're really focusing on that attachment relationship with our partner.

And finding ways to kind of solidify those positive experiences with our partner.

Yeah.

So we do find that, you know, in our research that these savoring processes, they do benefit couples relationship quality.

And so we looked at a few different areas, the couple's conflict, their kind of sense of confidence and having a future together, and then their satisfaction with their relationship.

And what we found was that the couples who savored more kind of experienced more benefits in all three areas.

So overall, kind of as the more that these couples are doing the savoring, the better the relationships are as a whole.
