Weekly check in’s are my absolute favorite. I am an incredibly talkative person and my poor husband is not. Ha! So sometimes, posing a question helps spark meaningful conversation with him. We love this time together. The rule is that we each get two questions to ask each other and we can repeat questions that we have already asked if there is something that we still have to work on. We have worked out disagreements by using these questions to help us understand each other. If there is something that hurt me or anything specific I want to talk about that is hard for me to bring up, I use these questions to help me push that anxiety aside to open up and talk to my husband. I am never let down after a check-in with him. We feel so much closer and connected after, it really is the best! Try this at least once a week!
