Small Things Often
Your relationship doesn't need a grand gesture tonight. It needs one small thing, often.
Who it's for
The show turns Gottman relationship concepts, such as responding to bids for connection, repairing after conflict and keeping fondness alive, into episodes of about three to five minutes.

What it is
Small Things Often is a podcast from The Gottman Institute, launched in February 2020, that offers research-based relationship tips in episodes of about five minutes or less. Each episode takes one idea, such as hitting the reset button on a relationship, using humour to build connection, or responding when a partner is stuck in negativity, and suggests practical ways to apply it day to day.
Where to find it
