How to Reconnect with a Partner When You Feel Like Roommates
Short videos for when you love each other but feel more like roommates.
How this collection works
- Who watches this
- You — the person showing up. These videos aren't for the recipient.
- When
- Before a conversation, when you're not sure what to say. Watch alone, take a beat.
- What each beat is for
- Caption orients you before watching. Takeaway is the line to hold onto. Reflection questions turn watching into a small decision.

The Gottman Institute · 2 min
A renowned couples psychologist's five small moves you can make in the next day — no big talk required.

You don't need a summit to reconnect. Pick one of five small moves today — say one thing you appreciate, ask "what would help you feel loved?" — and warmth starts coming back.
Reflection
01
Catch your partner doing one thing right today — and say it out loud before the day ends. What's the specific thing, and when will you say it?
02
Text your partner right now: "What's one thing I could do today to help you feel more loved?" Then do the first thing they name.
03
Tonight, give them a hug that lasts a full twenty seconds. Put a reminder on your phone for 9pm so you actually do it.
