How to Stay Connected to Your Spouse After Kids

You used to have time. To talk for hours. To flirt. To be spontaneous.

Now, you’ve got five minutes of adult conversation between bedtime and the dishes—and half of that is about buying more diapers.

If your partner feels more like your co-project manager than your lover, you’re not broken. You’re just in a season that makes connection harder—but not impossible.

This new Couples Check-In Web App helps you reconnect with intention, not overwhelm. It takes just a few minutes each week to:

  • Reflect on how you’re both doing

  • Share what you need to feel supported

  • Swap highlights, struggles, and simple gratitude

🖥️ Use the tool together or separately. Then:

  • 📄 Export a PDF to print or save

  • ✉️ Copy your answers into an email to share

  • 🗒️ Download to Apple Notes for reflection

🧩 What’s Included:

  • Relationship pulse check (communication, connection, intimacy)

  • Prompts like:

    • "When did you feel most loved this week?"

    • "What do you need more of right now?"

    • "How’s our team dynamic feeling?"

  • Space for shout-outs and low-pressure honesty

🛠️ Why It Works:

You don’t need to talk for hours to stay close. You need a repeatable moment each week to:

  • Say what’s working

  • Ask for what’s needed

  • Feel like you’re on the same team again

It’s not therapy. It’s not homework. It’s 5 minutes of real connection—with structure.
