Marriage and Martinis

The Relationship Check-In


Listen Later

So many couples go years without ever truly "checking in" with one another to discuss how things are going between them and which aspects of their relationship they need to focus on and improve, as well as which aspects of their relationship are going well. Danielle and Adam sit down to do a "relationship check-in" in real time. After looking for a "check-in" that suits their needs but not finding anything she really liked, Danielle creates one that she feels is more comprehensive and balanced. Here's some of what this discussion covers:

  • How are they doing in terms of supporting one another?
  • How is intimacy/sex and how can they improve?
  • Parenting wins as well as what they could be doing better.
  • Finances
  • Fun/laughter
  • Gratitude


Any couple who feels they could benefit from a check-in with one another should absolutely listen to this episode, as it exemplifies what it means to take the time to focus on one another and remember that you are a team. It is filled with opportunities for positive discussion, while also leaving room to explore areas for growth.
