Strengthening Intimacy: Mastering the Weekly Check-In

In this podcast episode, I tackled an often overlooked, yet profoundly impactful practice in relationships—the weekly check-in.

As many of you know, maintaining a thriving, intimate connection requires more than just love; it demands consistent effort and open communication.

Here’s a recap of what was discussed:

💬 The Art of the Check-In:

• Mutual Space: A check-in provides a dedicated time for both partners to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences from the week, creating a two-way street of communication.
• Active Listening: The focus is on genuinely listening to your partner without interrupting, judging, or rushing to give solutions. This nurtures emotional intimacy and trust.
• Consistency: Making this a weekly ritual shows your partner that your relationship is a priority. It's a small time investment with enormous returns.

🛠 Key Tips for Your Check-In:

1. Choose a Suitable Time: Sunday afternoons often work best, especially when the kids are asleep and the house is quiet. Make it a relaxed, distraction-free zone.
2. Prepare Questions: Decide on a set of questions—whether you use my weekly suggestions or create your own. Here are a couple to get you started:
   • "How was your week?"
   • "What is something you're proud of this week?"
3. Distraction-Free Zone: Phones on do-not-disturb, TV off, and no laundry in sight! Your full attention is crucial.
4. No Judgments, Just Ears: Let your partner speak freely. This exercise is about understanding their perspective and feelings.

Remember, consistency is key! The more you practice, the more natural these check-ins will become.
