I think a lot of little things in marriage we can just overlook the power that we talk about asking good questions but like connecting with one another on a regular basis.

How do we do that? We do that through checking in with one another. But I feel like we're always like, hey, how you doing? Yeah, okay, great. Like you feel okay? Good, okay. You're back hurting today? No, good. How's the work?

How's work going? Okay, bye.

Right.

Right. If we're not pushing past the initial kind of niceties.

Yeah.

We can be kind of on speaking terms but we don't actually grow in our depth of love for one another and our

Love can begin to drift and isolate instead of growing closer together.

And so we thought we'd propose to you, our listeners and viewers, a very practical episode.

The last couple of weeks we've been tackling some big topics.

But today we want to get super practical and we're going to talk about checking in and

what checking in is, what it accomplishes, what it might even look like so if you're sitting down

and not driving get out a pen and a piece of paper real practical if you are

driving just take those mental notes and we'll do that on the other side.

Sometimes I take on challenges of, okay, I'm going to listen to this and I know that I'm going to have

like three points or something so I'm going to have to remember. So those of you that are driving, not able to take notes,

you just got to exercise that memory, right? And like hook some things on on there I think it's a good

mental challenge anyways or if you're running or something or if you're running you can

write while you run well it's possible for us like I get so excited about

sharing things that I've learned that I'm like, oh, I gotta remember that,

I gotta remember okay, this, this, and then when you have to digest it to someone else, you're like,

thinking about what you actually have to say, then you really do process it better.
