Relationship check-in questions
A simple ritual for staying close, weekly or monthly.
The strongest couples are not the ones who never drift. They are the ones who notice early, because they made a habit of asking.
Use these as a ritual: a light weekly round, a deeper monthly one, and the harder ones for after a fight or when something feels quietly off.
