011 | How Weekly Check-Ins Can Help You Move From Being Glorified Roommates to Connected Spouses

Have you ever felt like you and your spouse were just glorified roommates? Like you are ships passing in the night?

We've been there! As God breathes life into our marriages, we're grateful he gives us practices and routines to help us feel more connected and thriving with each other. One of those practices is the weekly check-in.

On this episode, you'll learn the importance of this practice and why consistency and heart questions are key to unlocking the potential of this practice (along with God's Spirit of course!)

Guidelines for a weekly check-in:

1. Find a consistent time each week and stick with it

2. Ask each other heart questions (see below)

3. Plan the coming week together

Here are some "heart questions" for your weekly check-in:

“How is your heart?”

“What brought you joy this week?”

“What did you struggle with this week?”

“Was there any ways in which I encouraged and blessed you this week Was there a way I hurt you this week?”

“How can I serve you this week? How can I pray for you in the coming days?”
