01
Before you begin
Choose a time when you can be present. Put away notifications, agree that either person may pause, and keep this exercise separate from an urgent argument. There is no score and no requirement to finish.
02
Try the practice
- Review facts without blame: upcoming needs, one priority, one decision, and one follow-up date.
- Separate urgent decisions from long-term dreams.
- Write down who will do what and when you will revisit it.
03
One question to carry
- What financial fact do we need to face together?
Finish with grace. Thank each other for showing up. Choose one small way to carry the connection into the next day.
Safety first. Do not use a joint exercise where there is fear, violence, coercion, surveillance, or sexual pressure. Find confidential help →
