This is a YouTube video titled "Healthy Relationships Look Like THIS #shorts" containing a brief English conversation recorded on January 25, 2023, featuring Ask AI Mark and John discussing key behaviors in healthy relationships, specifically the concept of "turning towards" in partner interactions through role play examples.

What are those keys? They really help us to sort of redirect our attention about love toward what works as opposed to what doesn't.
Well, one of the most important is a dynamic called turning towards. And what turning towards means is when your partner makes a bid for connection, how do you respond? John and I can role play this. So, honey, look at that beautiful bird out there. It's gorgeous. That's turning away. Okay, let's try it again. Honey, look at that beautiful bird outside the window.
Be quiet. I'm trying to concentrate on it.
God, give me a break. So that's turning against. It's responding to your partner's bid with hostility. Okay, now let's do it right. Wow, look at that beautiful bird out there.
Whoa, yeah.
Isn't that neat? Yeah. That's all it takes.
