The two words that could save your relationship
When was the last time you thanked your partner? Research shows that a heartfelt ‘thank you’ might just be the key to maintaining and improving your relationship.
A study conducted by the University of Georgia and published in the journal Personal Relationships has found that feeling appreciated and valued by your partner has a direct positive effect on your relationship satisfaction, how committed you feel, and your thoughts about the future of your relationship.
The study took the form of a survey of nearly 500 married individuals, who were asked about their financial situations, the way they communicated with their spouses, and how gratitude was expressed in their relationships.
The results showed that gratitude was the most significant indicator of relationship quality. Expressions of gratitude can mitigate against the negative effects of poor communication, and even reduce the likelihood of divorce.
The study’s lead author Allen Barton said: "It goes to show the power of ‘thank you’… Even if a couple is experiencing distress and difficulty in other areas, gratitude in the relationship can help promote positive marital outcomes".
So if you’re struggling to communicate with your partner, or you’re worried that words aren’t your strong suit, maybe drop them a quick line to say ‘thank you’ for something they’ve done for you, or just for being wonderful.

The More You Get Humble.....It Is A Good Thing
Quentin Tarantino, Ridley Scott, Four More Directors on the Decline of "Middle-Class Films," Facing Retirement.
Put six of the world's greatest filmmakers together in one room, and it's inevitable they'll talk about their favorite films. But who'd have thought a visual stylist like Ridley Scott would have chosen an Australian comedy (Muriel's Wedding) or that David O. Russell would sing the praises of an old British comedy called Hobson's Choice? Those were some of the surprises that emerged when the filmmakers — Danny Boyle (Steve Jobs), 59; Tom Hooper (The Danish Girl), 43; Alejandro G. Inarritu (The Revenant), 52; Russell (Joy), 57; Scott (The Martian), 78; and Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight), 52 — gathered in an L.A. photo studio on the morning of Nov. 12 to talk about the thing they love most. Another surprise? To see how thrilled Tarantino was to be seated next to Scott — and to hear the story of how Scott called Stanley Kubrick to help fix a problem on his classic Blade Runner.
