Relationship meetings provide a valuable opportunity for you and your partner to openly discuss what's working well and what might need improvement. These meetings help couples deepen their understanding of each other and their relationship. As individuals change over time, new challenges and issues may arise, making effective communication crucial. Additionally, relationship meetings reinforce the commitment between partners.

​

A comprehensive relationship purpose meeting lasting a few hours could be held once every three months, supplemented by weekly 15-minute check-in meetings.

​​​

Relationship Purpose Meeting

 

Consider holding the relationship purpose meeting in a setting where you won't be disturbed, such as a quiet restaurant. This creates a relaxed environment where you can enjoy good food and focus on your conversation.

 

Some suggested discussion topics for the relationship purpose meeting include:

• What makes our relationship happy?

• What prevents our relationship from being happy?

• How would we describe our relationship in a few words?

• What aspects of our relationship could we improve?

• What is our favourite relationship memory?

• What makes us look forward to coming home at night?

​

Weekly Check-In Meetings

 

For the shorter, weekly 15-minute check-in meetings, consider discussing the following topics:

• What has gone well in our relationship this week?

• What challenges have we faced?

• What should we focus on in the coming week?

 

By setting aside dedicated time to discuss your relationship, you and your partner can maintain a strong, healthy connection. These regular meetings foster open communication, mutual understanding, and ongoing commitment, ensuring your relationship continues to thrive..
