The 15-Minute Meeting That Will Save Your Relationship
It's not a performance review. It's not a corporate sync-up. It's a weekly check-in, and it might just be the most important 15 minutes of your week. Here's how to do it right.
Okay, we know what you're thinking. A weekly "meeting" with your partner? Sounds about as romantic as a PowerPoint presentation. But hear us out. In the chaos of modern life, it's easy to become two ships passing in the night, communicating only through a series of grunts and forwarded emails. The weekly check-in is your anchor.
It's a simple, 15-minute ritual to intentionally reconnect. No phones, no TV, just the two of you. The agenda is simple: What went well this week? What was challenging? What's coming up next week? It's a chance to celebrate the wins, tackle the problems, and get on the same page before small issues become big ones.
This isn't about adding another item to your to-do list. It's about creating a dedicated space for your partnership. It's a reminder that you're a team. And the best part? It makes all the other days of the week run a whole lot smoother. Give it a try. You might be surprised at how much you have to say.
