Psychologist named a way to improve relationships in just one minute

The secret to strong relationships lies not in grand gestures, but in small yet consistent rituals.

American psychologist Mark Travers believes that just one minute a day is enough for a noticeable improvement in relationships. All you need is to find 60 seconds daily to pause and fully focus on your partner - without phones, rushing, or distracting thoughts. Such a conscious choice - to show attention, warmth and openness - becomes a powerful contribution to the couple's "emotional bank account," notes the expert.

Travers suggests several options for such short rituals.

According to the psychologist, their power lies not in intensity but in regularity. It's a kind of "micro-habit" - so simple that it's impossible not to do, yet effective enough to gradually improve the atmosphere in the relationship. Couples who implement this practice notice that irritation occurs less frequently, and conflicts are resolved more easily.

To turn a minute of closeness into a sustainable habit, Travers advises linking it to an already existing action, such as brushing your teeth. He emphasizes that you shouldn't aim for perfect execution every time - the most important thing is to gently preserve this time for communication, even on the busiest days.
