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
