Dr. John Gottman calls bids for connection the small, everyday moments that build or break a relationship. A shared laugh, a gentle touch, even a simple question or pointing out a bird. These are all ways we seek connection with our partners. The key? How we respond. Turning toward bids strengthens trust and intimacy, while turning away can create distance over time.

In this clip, Dr. John Gottman explains that it’s not really about having too many bids for connection. The real problem is when only one person’s bids seem to count. Your needs matter just as much as your partner’s. “Can we talk for a few minutes?” is a bid. “Can you sit with me?” is a bid. “I need 30 minutes to myself” is a bid too. You’re allowed to ask for connection. You’re allowed to ask for space. Both are valid, and both deserve to be heard. | The Gottman Institute

Nonverbal bids for connection can work, but as Dr. John Gottman notes, only “as long as you are both clear about what message you’re sending or receiving.” Ask yourself: Do you know your partner's go-to move? Is it a smile from across the table? Do they cuddle close at bedtime? How about you? Are you sure your partner knows what you’re asking for? | The Gottman Institute
