There are several ways you can keep your relationship alive and passionate, and one of them comes to us as a suggestion from the people on TikTok, who suggest kissing the person of your heart for a fixed 6 seconds. So simple. 6 seconds!
The tip went viral from the @afinehuman account and called it a "favorite hookup trick," suggesting that the 6-second kiss is a bonding ritual.
@afinehuman #gottmaninstitute the #6secondkiss is just such a simple ritual you can bring to your relationship. It such a small act that can have a positive impact. Try it! #goodvibes #wellness #relationship ? original sound - Al Fine
According to relationship therapist Dr. John Gottman, this rule works because 6 seconds is enough time to create a more intimate connection, and the brain stops for a moment from all thoughts and focuses on the partner.
In turn, this rule makes the relationship healthier and stronger, as it reduces cortisol (the main hormone associated with stress) and increases levels of oxytocin (known as the "love hormone").
A girl on TikTok says this rule saved her life. "We do it every day. Last night we had a little fight and to make sure we wouldn't hold grudges, he said: "We should have our kiss" and we did. Then, we were able to talk about the problem. Start doing the 6-second kiss. I promise it will help your relationship," said the girl in question.
