In this episode of Till The Wheels Fall Off, Matt and Paige Robinson dive into the nuances of healthy communication within relationships, especially those affected by addiction. Drawing on Dr. Gottman’s research, they break down the “magic ratio” of 5:1—five positive interactions for every negative one—as a cornerstone of lasting love. They contrast this with the chaos that addiction often brings into relationships, making it hard to maintain such a ratio.
