interesting...

i juz finished a book...Blink..

it's abt the first impression, how the unconscious mind actually helps you by working behind the scenes...and the book also bring awareness to how this can be distorted by the influences of ur life experiences and media/cultural/social conditionings.

anyway..the part i am touching on is not abt the 'blinking'...it's smtg else tt caught my attn.. it's a research by Dr Gottman...abt how he cld see if a couple can make it to old age...or divorce within the next 5 years juz by watching them have a conversation...abd he is really gd at this, he cld be listening to a conversation of a random couple at a restaurant for 10-20 secs and tell if they will make it.. quite amazing rite... comes wif lotsa practice and studies of cuz...

but the real reason y i am writing now...is about this article on his website...abt how to keep a rs going... and i tink it's v v true...and 1 pt caught my eye...
- the pt abt accepting influence: "A husband's ability to be influenced by his wife (rather than vice-versa) is crucial because research shows women are already well practiced at accepting influence from men, and a true partnership only occurs when a husband can do so as well."

i tink this is really true...women are well-conditioned to accept influences...but a gd rs can only happen if the man is willing as well...

anyway this article offers v v v v v good advice, in my opinion...so take a look if u r interested to make ur rs better... i'm sure we can trust this guy...he's really a rs guru...by research...

btw, wonder if the movie 'love guru' wld be gd...looked funny in the thrillers.. might watch on friday....need a light-hearted movie...been too serious....

gd nite...it's getting late AGAIN...
