Relationship Check‑In Journal – Prompts for Couples to Grow Together

Building a deeper, more connected relationship starts with intentional conversation—and a Relationship Check‑In Journal can be your guide. Here’s how to make journaling together a meaningful habit:


💬 Why a Shared Check‑In Matters

  • Creates space to check in beyond daily routines.

  • Enhances intimacy by tuning into each other’s emotions.

  • Strengthens communication, reducing misunderstandings.


📝 8 Thoughtful Prompts to Use Weekly

Prompt Why It Matters
1. "What made you feel loved this week?" Reinforces positive connections
2. "What’s one thing I did that helped or hurt?" Opens honest, compassionate feedback
3. "How are we managing stress—together and separately?" Builds empathy and teamwork
4. "What can we do this week to nurture our connection?" Encourages proactive care
5. "What goal would you like us to support each other on?" Fosters mutual growth
6. "What’s a small joy we shared that I might have missed?" Cultivates gratitude and awareness
7. "Is there something you'd like more of from me?" Invites vulnerability and clarity
8. "What are you looking forward to in our relationship?" Keeps you aligned and excited

🕰️ How to Use These Prompts

  • Choose one prompt per week and schedule 10–20 minutes together.

  • Write then share: each take 5–10 minutes writing your thoughts, then read and reflect together.

  • Keep it simple: skip a week if needed—consistency, not perfection, matters more.
