Even the strongest relationships need intentional space to stay connected. Weekly check-ins offer couples a chance to slow down, reflect, and truly hear one another — beyond the everyday logistics.
Why Weekly Check-Ins Matter
When couples set aside a regular time to check-in with each other, it promotes emotional intimacy and transparency and creates a safe space for discussing hard things. It also encourages celebration of wins and growth in your relationship.
How to Set the Scene
It's important to pick a consistent time (e.g., Sunday evenings) so that it becomes part of your routine and also something you both can expect and look forward to. Creating a comfortable space for the check-in is also helpful, including having no devices or screens to distract you. You will also want to agree on some ground rules, such as no interrupting, no judgment, and listening to understand.
Some Example Questions to Ask During Your Check-Ins
What felt good in our relationship this week?
Is there anything that felt off or challenging?
What was your favorite moment with me this week?
How can I support you better in the upcoming week?
What are you looking forward to for us in the near future?
What’s one thing you’d love more of in our relationship?
Tips for a Successful Check-In
Try to keep it around 30 minutes and focus on the connection element of it during this time.
Don’t turn it into a complaint session; balance honesty with kindness.
Be curious, not defensive.
End on a positive note — a hug, a shared dessert, setting a future plan, etc.
Final Thoughts
A weekly check-in isn’t about being perfect — it’s about being present. The more we intentionally connect, the stronger and safer our relationship becomes.
