The short version

## Gottman-Inspired Relationship Tools and Magic Ratios

Gottman's 5-to-1 magic ratio describes the idea that stable couples need about five positive interactions for every negative interaction during conflict. The related 20-to-1 magic ratio is often used for everyday positive connection outside conflict. Swooni helps couples notice similar interaction patterns, repair, positive connection, and conflict habits while remaining an independent product.

## The 5-to-1 and 20-to-1 ratios

Relationship research has repeatedly shown that everyday interaction patterns shape long-term connection. The 5-to-1 ratio is usually discussed in the context of conflict repair, while the 20-to-1 ratio points toward a richer everyday balance of positive connection. Swooni helps couples make those patterns easier to see and discuss.

## Independent and science-informed
