Annual Relationship Review


Listen Later

Valentine's Day is in the air. And whether you consider yourself a romantic or not, let's do a quick status check on your relationship with your partner.

Does your relationship with your partner feel fantastic? Or is it weighed down by a growing list of resentments? Maybe you'd consider your relationship more of an afterthought…something that gets your time and attention once in a blue moon?

It's no secret that kids bring on changes in relationships.

Sometimes, those changes are an evolution, a deepening of an important bond with your partner in childrearing.

But too often, the all-consuming nature of modern parenting leaves this important relationship starved for attention. It starts to languish.

So this week, I'm going to share with you how a seemingly unromantic practice borrowed from the corporate sphere – the Annual Review – can strengthen your relationship and diffuse resentment.

If you're looking to keep your relationship on track (or get it back on track), despite kids and demanding jobs, this episode is a must-listen.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why many couples avoid "relationship feedback", and why that's a "false good idea"

  • The 3 questions to ask yourself before Valentine's Day

  • How to conduct an Annual Relationship Review with your partner
