How Love Really Works
Interview
with Steven Carter, author of This
Is How Love Works
Mike
Carruthers:
It's very easy for couples to underestimate the importance of
the small stuff in their relationship.
Steven
Carter:
Because once the big pieces of a relationship are in place,
most of it is small stuff, but the small stuff is really important
stuff.
Steven Carter,
author of the book This
Is How Love Works...
Things
like do you take your partners hand ever, do you touch when
you go to the movies, do you take the last piece of chocolate
cake out of the refrigerator before checking in to make sure
that your partner wasn't saving it for something? Those things
break relationships, because people get so angry, and so crazy.
Overtime
couples often let the little things start to slide, and Steven
says that just leads to trouble.
Every
little relationship event is an opportunity to feel a little
bit more connected, or feel a little bit less connected, but
I think people don't really get how important it is to say hello
to your partner when you walk in the door at the end of the
day, to say goodnight to your partner before you just kind of
fall out. In other words, letting your partner know, I'm thinking
about you. You know when people talk about the work of relationships,
and they just say relationships are just a lot of work, but
they don't really tell you what that means. These small things
are that kind of work
