You don’t need a weekend retreat or a five-hour heart-to-heart to reconnect with your partner. Sometimes, all it takes is six seconds of presence. In this episode, Eddie unpacks the surprising power of two tiny but transformative rituals—the 6-second kiss and the 20-second hug.
Backed by research from Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Paul Zak, and rooted in lived relational wisdom, this conversation explores how intentional touch can reset trust, soothe the nervous system, and rebuild emotional safety in tired or tense relationships. Whether your marriage feels distant or just dull, these small habits might be the lifeline you didn’t know you needed.

- Why your nervous system craves connection more than resolution
- The science behind oxytocin, touch, and emotional bonding
- How to start simple, even when things feel awkward or fragile
