Can watching romantic comedies actually save your relationship?
Adam Grant explains a fascinating psychological study revealing that couples who watch and discuss a romantic comedy once a week are just as likely to stay together over three years as those who undergo intense conflict resolution training. He breaks down how analyzing fictional couples puts partners on the same side of a problem and effortlessly shifts them into “pal mode.”
Adam Grant, Eugene and Trevor Noah also explore why emotional intensity bonds people faster than shared suffering, why “admin nights” are the perfect way to spend time with friends, and why reminding your partner of the first time you met is the ultimate hack to defuse a fight.
