And it\u2019s easy to stop prioritizing appreciation of your partner. Even though it\u2019s easy to say thank you, it\u2019s just so easy\u00a0<em>not<\/em>\u00a0to. It gets even easier to not do all these things when you become a parent. There\u2019s a precipitous drop in marital satisfaction in the first three years of a new child, so we need to be really careful and sensitive and helpful toward parents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"question\"><strong>What kind of personal feedback are you getting from users?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"answer\">What we\u2019ve been hearing in general is that some of these concepts from the app have really transformed all of their interactions. Let me explain our two most important ones: emotional call and the inner world principle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"answer\">The foundation of your marriage is your emotional connection. But what\u2019s your emotional connection made of? It\u2019s constructed by thousands of tiny moments where you partner turns to you and tries to connect with you.

It could be \u201cHey, honey, how was your day?\u201d or \u201cHey, look at this new shirt I got.\u201d But it can also be much more complex, like a deep sigh after a really long day at work. You don\u2019t say your partner\u2019s name, but you\u2019re subtly reaching out. We call these moments \u201cemotional calls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/women\/2018\/june\/lasting-marriage-app-founder-digital-therapy.html\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What have you learned from this data?
