Give Your Relationship a Tune-Up!
I just had the pleasure (insert sarcasm) of weathering a huge car repair these last few weeks.
You know, the kind where they call you with the total and you have to pick your jaw up off the ground and do some mental math to be sure that the cost of the repair is in fact not more than the actual car is worth… ugh… that kind of repair!
Throughout this headache of a car repair, I kept asking the mechanic, “what caused this and what can be done to avoid it happening again?”. This question was super important to me because I wanted to know what sort of regular maintenance will prevent this from happening again. Because if some sort of regular tune-up can ensure my car can go the distance… I’m all in.
And of course, this got me thinking about relationships and the importance of tune-ups and check-ins. If there’s one thing I know for sure, regular tune-ups in love have great benefit on the longevity and success of your relationship.
How are you checking in with each other? What is your regular tune-up routine? What ways do you perform preventative maintenance in love?
If you can answer these questions with ease… then give each other a high five (or a smooch) and celebrate your commitment to doing work together.
If these questions give you pause or make you panic for a second… not to worry… just dive in and work together to…
Create a regular check-in routine for your relationship.
I promise it will do wonders for the two of you! Take it from someone knee-deep in car repairs… preventative care is ALWAYS better than having to manage a reactive solution. Here’s to many happy and regular check in’s with your mate.
Yours,
-A
