20:1 Gottman's Magic Ratio

I had written a previous post about Gottman’s magic 5 positive interactions to 1 negative one ratio - this is during a conflict. .
.
The everyday ratio may surprise you - it’s actually 20 to 1! That means that for every one negative interaction, your couple needs 20 positive ones to continue feeling like you are in an overall satisfying relationship. Are your interactions 20:1 on the day to day? If not, how can you tip the balance in your favor?
