The Question You And Your Partner Should Ask Each Other Regularly

It's all about checking in regularly.

So it seems there’s one question you and your partner should ask each other on a weekly basis.

According to Dr James Cordova, professor of psychology and director of the Center for Couples and Family Research at Clark University, checking in with your partner on a regular basis is very important.

Simply asking if they’re okay can make a huge difference to how loved and looked after they feel, according to Cordova.

Drs. Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks, a married couple, who both work as scientists have come up with a very specific question.

Communications is key

They believe asking “”How are we doing working together as a partnership?” is very important.

This helps them see how they’re “working together as a team for our children, working together toward financial goals, or being together so we both have a great sexual experience”.

Dr Cordova notes that checking in with your other half to see how they’re doing stops communication problems before they even happen.
