In this episode of Joy Recovery Radio, we dive into the importance and practice of daily check-ins for building emotional intimacy in relationships. Continuing our three-part series on intimacy, we discuss why intimacy with God and self is foundational before one can achieve true intimacy with others. We introduce and break down the FANOS method (Feelings, Appreciation, Needs, Ownership, Struggles/Sobriety/Successes) and explain how adding an 'A' for Action can enhance this tool. Learn how daily check-ins can prevent resentment, build trust, and foster self-awareness. We also share practical tips on how to customize FANOS for your relationship and discuss the mindset required for effective emotional check-ins. Tune in to understand how these practices can help you and your partner grow closer and more connected. Stay tuned for the next episode where we'll delve into Imago Dialogue for deeper communication.
