<p>We often think that big gestures — surprise parties, elaborate gifts, grand declarations — are what strengthen relationships. But research in relationship psychology tells a different story.</p><h2>The Power of Small Moments</h2><p>Dr. John Gottman's research shows that the quality of a relationship is built in small, everyday interactions. A quick text, a shared laugh, a simple "I'm thinking of you" — these micro-moments of connection compound over time into deep, lasting bonds.</p><h2>Consistency Over Intensity</h2><p>An occasional grand gesture can't make up for months of silence. But consistent, small acts of connection keep relationships warm and resilient. Think of it like exercise — a daily walk beats an annual marathon.</p><h2>Why People Drift Apart</h2><p>Most relationships don't end with a dramatic falling out. They fade quietly through neglect — not because people stop caring, but because life gets busy and connection gets deprioritized.</p><h2>Making It Habit</h2><p>The solution isn't to care more — it's to make showing you care easier and more automatic. That's exactly what Nuhge is designed to do.</p>
