016: A Tool to Connect With Your Wife


Listen Later

Ever found yourself stuck in surface-level conversations, struggling to connect with your wife? In this powerful episode, we share a game-changing communication tool: the check-in process. This technique has transformed my relationships, particularly with my wife, as it helps to cut through small talk and dive into the heart of the matter. Through examples from our own experiences, such as resolving disagreements and navigating anxiety in social settings, discover the three-step process that involves naming three physical things, sensations, and emotions.

Not only is the check-in process beneficial for you and your wife, but it can also be applied to connections with friends, kids, and even yourself. We discuss overcoming the initial reluctance to initiate a check-in and the rewards that follow through open and honest communication. Learn how this technique works across different age groups, from young children to adults, and how it can elevate your everyday conversations to something more profound. Give the check-in process a try and witness the difference it can make in creating deeper connections with those around you, ultimately enhancing your overall quality of life.
