Having regular relationship check-ins can be immensely beneficial. 

Sure it sounds awkward and maybe even corporate-y, but in reality, most couples don't regularly check in with one another which oftentimes leads to a blow-up argument over something small that could have been addressed and resolved so much sooner.

You're probably wondering, 'Okay, what am I supposed to talk about during a check-in with my partner?' Well, here are a few simple starter questions that will more than likely help initiate a meaningful conversation about the health of your relationship:

How has our communication been lately/how would you rate our communication on a scale of 1-10?

What are some positive aspects of our relationship that have stood out to you in the past few weeks?

Is there something you wish we did more of as a couple?

What is one thing you wish I did more of to strengthen, build, or grow our relationship?

Are there any aspects of our relationship that you feel could be changed or improved? How do you think we can work on them together?

When do I make you feel the most loved and appreciated?

Is there anything in our relationship that has been triggering you recently (if anything)?

, it doesn't matter if you're in a new relationship or have been together for decades. Starting these check-ins now is always better than never starting at all! As you become more comfortable and vulnerable with each other, these check-ins will become a cherished ritual in your relationship, and you will look forward to them.

Regular relationship check-ins are a powerful tool for maintaining a healthy and thriving partnership. By engaging in open and honest conversations, addressing concerns, and fostering better communication, you can strengthen your bond and prevent unnecessary conflicts. Make it a habit, and watch how your relationship flourishes as a result.
