I write a letter every month to express gratitude and reflect on good memories! and found it nice to have a "our spot" (e.g. particular restaurant) that we go to for special occasions or celebration. we handle conflicts and emotional processing in conversation as they arise
I love that! it sounds like a nice dose of joy into the relationship. Do you find that some conflicts get swept under the rug/go unnoticed if you don't make a specific time/space to think about them?

I think we have frequent open dialogue about things we’re not 100% happy with so whenever it happens it’s 1) not pent-up/spilling over so it’s digestible and 2) general built-up goodwill wraps around the sharp edges, helps us assume the best of intentions in each other

if it’s a dense convo that can’t be handled in the flow of everyday life, we agree to set time aside and agree when it would be w/ mutual understanding it’s important

That's where closure comes into play, I learnt that in every relationship you should never "let any conflict get swept under the rug or go unnoticed more especially if something has hurt you in one way or the other. That way it you even make room for more growth together.
