Co-Designing the Rhythms and Rituals of Your Relationship

16m · Touchy Topics with Megan Lambert · 08 Nov 19:59

One of the least talked about — but most important — aspects of a relationship is how you structure your daily lives together. What are the rhythms and rituals you live by? What is the flow of your days?

Often couples fall into unconscious patterns, without having a clear conversation on the rhythms they want to create together. Nor do they talk about their implicit expectations and baseline standards - which can breed resentment and hurt feelings.

By having an open and honest conversation about these areas, you two can consciously design a more beautiful and fulfilling life together.

In this episode, I share with you two powerful sets of questions to talk about with your partner to help you set your baseline standards and design your daily rhythms. This is potent work! May it create more flow and harmony in your relationship.

Key Topics:

  • What are rhythms and rituals in partnership? [1:06]
    • Why are they important?
  • Rhythms and rituals questions [2:50]
    • What do you do in the morning and before going to bed together?
    • How often and when do you make love?
    • How often do you have date nights?
    • Traveling and taking trips together or separately
    • Relationship check-ins
    • How do you play and have fun together?
    • How do you receive relationship support?
  • Baseline standards questions [8:29]
    • What behaviors are not acceptable in fights?
    • What will you do when a standard is broken?
    • What is the standard of loyalty and honesty?
    • How long do you go without having sex?
    • How long do you harbor resentments?
    • How do you deal with substances, addictions, and/or vices?
