Every night my husband and I do this one thing, it's called the TEACH formula...
It may completely change your relationship, it did for ours:
It may completely change your relationship, it did for ours:
We (maybe like you) were incredibly busy, with tanks on E, and not enough time for each other.
We sat to talk with our friend Brandy and she recommended 1 daily action...

It's called TEACH.
I can safely say it completely changed @Chris_Petkas and my marriage for the better.
It takes 10 minutes a night.
You sit down, grab a glass of wine and do the TEACH check-in.

@Chris_Petkas T - Touch
Hold hands, sit next to each other on the couch.
Remind yourselves with touch you're in this together.
Sidenote: When Chris and I are mad at each other we jokingly barely touch one fingertip like ET.

@Chris_Petkas E- Education
You each share one thing you learned that day that was interesting.
A fact. A hard truth. Whatever.
It's a chance for novelty and endorphins when we expand our brains.

@Chris_Petkas A - Appreciation
You each share one thing you appreciate about the other.
Could be how beautiful your partner looks that day.
If you're ticked it could be that they took out the trash.
Only rule is points for creativity and you can't keep using the same one.

@Chris_Petkas M - Metrics
Here's the tough part.
Usually, when you're upset you tell them that moment.
It gets naggy 321 times a day. With the check-in, you wait, or write down and bring it to this time.
It means you don't fight when elevated but you always get to explain your point.

@Chris_Petkas Metrics was huge for us.
It meant me (a hot blooded Latina) wouldn't get emotional.
It meant Chris (a military hardo) wouldn't get dictatorial.
We let cooler heads prevail and now we kind of treasure our check-in.
Try it. A marriage done well is a superpower.

Apparently someone has to TEACH me English.
It’s called TEAM.
Altho I think it taught me a thing or two.
Also what works for y’all?
I am always looking for a ways to be a better partner.
