Example

Sarah felt her relationship had become distant as both she and her partner were often busy or distracted. Agreeing to weekly “relationship check-ins,” they began openly discussing their feelings, goals, and concerns during scheduled conversations. Quickly, these honest conversations improved their communication, strengthened their emotional connection, and helped them proactively resolve issues before they became significant.
