In this segment, the speaker advocates for a simple, daily 10‑minute mutual gratitude exercise where partners explicitly admire and thank each other. The habit is presented as a powerful tool to disrupt the common tendency to ruminate on negative memories and criticisms. By regularly focusing on positive aspects, couples replace habitual complaining with new, constructive thoughts, leading to a refreshed perception of each other and a more supportive mental narrative when they are apart. The speaker emphasizes that this small, consistent practice can fundamentally change how partners think about and relate to one another.

Making a commitment to 10 minutes every day, or whenever you can get around to it, to admire and thank your partner mutually with each other. That changes lives right there. And then to— because it leads to when you're apart, you're thinking well, you're remembering what you said. Most people are thinking of the worst thing that they can think about their partner and the worst thing that happened, and they play it and replay it in their minds endlessly, what went wrong. So that's what they live, their worst memories. And you never talk about— you never get around to talking about what I'm saying. It's an irony, you know. So you interject this habit and then you start thinking new thoughts. You start seeing your partner in new ways because you've, you've kind of thrown out the habit pattern of complaining and worrying and being all caught up in the negativity.
