Would you be willing to take a relationship audit? Sitting down and reflecting on how things are going is a habit of healthy relationships
Nikki WalshTaking a relationship audit may sound scary but sitting down and reflecting on how things are going is a habit of healthy relationships.
The idea may sound a little cold and impersonal — but this isn’t simply checking boxes on a list. Checking in both personally and with each other on your feelings, your irritations, your goals and where you feel things are going wrong is actually very healthy. Dr. John Gottman, one of the most prolific relationship therapists in the world, wrote that a problem in a relationship cannot be solved until each person is able to say “Yes! You understand me. That’s exactly how I’m feeling”. He recommended what he called a ‘State of the Union’ meeting for couples — once a week, to sit down and hash out any existing or potential conflict between them, so that they can move forward feeling like they are both on the same team.
