Ever feel like you and your partner are running on autopilot? When life gets busy, it’s easy to lose sight of your growth as a couple.
Joe and I set aside time once a year for a life check-in using thoughtful prompts. These prompts are meant to help us discover blind spots, celebrate progress, and realign our priorities together.
Thoughtful prompts aren’t just questions, they’re conversation starters. Try some out during your next quiet evening together and see what insights emerge.
Reevaluate Life Prompts
Below are some example questions:
- Looking at our current path: our jobs, our living situation, and how we spend our time – what parts feel really aligned with who we are and what we want? What parts might need tweaking to better match our values or goals?
- When we feel most content and ‘in flow’ together in our daily life, what exactly are we doing? Are we creating enough space for those moments, or should we reorganize some things to have more of what makes us thrive?
- What’s one thing we each feel a little nervous or uncertain about in our current plans? It could be something small or big – and then let’s brainstorm how we could address that uncertainty together.
These prompts aren’t meant to be answered once and forgotten. Keep responses in a shared google doc and revisit them every few months to see how you’ve grown. Jot down notes, write out any needed fixes, assign action items, keep on growing.
What’s beautiful about this practice is that there are no wrong answers. There’s only opportunities to understand each other more deeply and create a more intentional future together.
Remember, the goal isn’t to have perfect responses but to create space for honest conversation about what matters most.
Quick Tips for Success
- Set aside distractions
- Approach each prompt with curiosity rather than judgment
- Be open to what you discover about yourselves as individuals and as partners
