RIGHT NOW DO 3 THINGS & IMPROVE YOUR RELATIONSHIP: Couples therapy & relationships experts, Dr. Ray & Jean Kadkhodaian give their three tips that can immediately shift your relationship for the better.

1. Do something new and thrilling together

• Couples who experience something thrilling together create a bond that releases sexual attraction neurotransmitters
• What we know about human beings is that when we share a heart pounding experience together, we bond, and in the case of couples, it can create sexual attraction - The mountain between us (2017) about a male doctor and female writer that get stranded in the mountains after their pilot suffers a heart attack and the plane crashes.

2. Surprises

• We are not talking about just getting flowers or greeting cards for your spouse on special occasions. We are talking about random surprises, little gestures that show top of mind
  
• John Gottman, a researcher about couple relationships - bid attempts

3. Sleep naked

• Skin to skin contact facilitates the release of the neurotransmitters oxytocin and vasopressin which are bonding chemicals
• In a cotton USA poll, 57% of those who sleep in the nude report being happy in their relationships
• Only 38% of those who sleep fully clothed report being happy in their relationships
