Many couples spend most of their conversations talking about responsibilities, schedules, and everything that keeps life moving.
The Express Yourself Check-In is a simple way to create space for a different kind of conversation.
Questions like:
What's been bringing you energy lately?
What's something you miss doing just for yourself?
What's something you've been feeling but haven't really said out loud?
According to Gottman research, emotional intimacy grows when partners continue sharing their inner world with each other. Not just what's happening around them, but what's happening within them.
This month's Love Notes includes the complete Express Yourself Check-In, along with a guided 10-minute exercise designed to help couples reconnect through curiosity, understanding, and conversation.
