How to Have a Weekly "Family Meeting" to Stay to on Track in Your Relationship: Episode 168

How to Have a Weekly "Family Meeting" to Stay to on Track in Your Relationship: Episode 168

Do you and your partner feel perfectly aligned and on the same page? Do you ever feel caught off guard by a comment your partner makes about being dissatisfied somewhere in your relationship? If so, it's time for a Family Meeting Check-in!

We define a"Family Meeting" as: a designated time to have an intentional, judgment-free conversation together as you discuss your relationship + life. You each get to share your satisfaction in the 9 core areas of your relationship/life, and openly listen to each other.

A few critical benefits of these "Family Meetings":

  • it eliminates that frustrating moments where you blindside each other throughout the week to discuss things when it's not the best time
  • you can address challenges or areas of lower satisfaction before it BUILDS up into resentment
  • you ensure you're on the same page as a couple and feel like a team
  • it creates emotional safety and intimacy

But here's what a weekly Family Meeting is NOT: a time to defend yourselves, point fingers, complain, or start a fight.

In this episode you will hear us go through our own family meeting, so that you have the tools to communicate with each other to be even more on the same page.
