The importance of the check-in

Having regularly check-ins isn’t just important for couples in which there is past trauma – it’s important for all couples. Research has found that the expectations for marital satisfaction are increasing, while we’re actually spending less time with our spouses and family members.

Couples who regularly connect on an emotional level and commit to having meaningful conversations that go beyond the daily “who’s picking up the kids from school?” talk report higher satisfaction. Research has even found that personal growth and attention to one’s romantic relationship go hand-in-hand, whereas those who allow the daily grind to dominate their romantic relationship do not experience as much personal growth.
