Make sure that you are really in tune with what is going on for each other. Check in with each other once a week. Make it a weekly ritual, with a cup of tea (or wine).

Here are some things to talk about. Even if you don’t have lots of time, pick at least one of these to talk about.

1. Something wonderful that happened to me this week was…
2. Something I’ve been feeling lately is …
3. Something I’ve been wanting lately is …
4. The time I felt the most connected to you recently is …
5. Something I learned / something I read this week is …
6. Something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently is …
7. Something I appreciate about you is …

End on a positive note, with what you appreciate about each other, or a happy memory from the week.
