## Worth keeping in mind

- Use a weekly rhythm to catch distance earlier.
- Talk about appreciation and repair in the same conversation.
- Make needs specific enough to act on.
- Keep the check-in short enough to repeat.

> Use a weekly rhythm to catch distance earlier.

A weekly relationship check-in should be short, honest, and specific. Ask what felt good, what felt missed, what needs repair, and what one small thing would make next week feel better. Swooni helps couples keep that rhythm.

> Swooni is not therapy and does not replace professional help. If a relationship feels unsafe, abusive, or in crisis, reach out to qualified local support or emergency services.

## The four questions that matter

Try a simple weekly check-in: What felt good between us? What felt missed? What needs repair? What is one small thing we want to try next week?

## Short is the point

A check-in that takes ten minutes and actually happens beats a perfect conversation that never starts. Swooni keeps the rhythm light and repeatable.

One small next step

## Start with one moment you can actually talk about.

Not the whole history. Not the giant talk. Just one thing that would make the next few days feel a little clearer.
