Life Dinner Guide:

1. Personal Reflection on Last Month

Guiding Questions:

• What could I have done better?

• What was I proud of?

• What's causing me anxiety?

• What am I worried about for the future?

2. Relationship Reflection on Last Month

Guiding Questions:

• What's one little thing we noticed about each other that we love?

• Are there things we learned about from our relationship?

• How might we want to improve moving forward?

3. Personal Goals for Next Month

Guiding Question:

• What do I want to achieve over the next 4 weeks?

(This is helpful for prioritization and accountability.)

Now, some guiding principles:

1. No stonewalling. Don't close up or detach while having tough conversations.

2. Be in the moment. Approach everything from a place of love. Ask thoughtful questions.

3. Prepare ahead of time. Keep a running journal of things you want to discuss.
