My wife and I do have a weekly one on one. It’s on our shared calendar for 8:45PM every Sunday. We call it a ‘check-in’ because 1:1 feels like unnecessary corporate speak in the context of our marriage. It’s a chance for us to talk through what went well and what went poorly over the last week. Having it on the calendar as a regular activity means that it never feels like we’re calling the other person out on something, and it means that we never just let it slide because we’re busy with something else. We’ve been doing it for over a year and a half and have only missed it once when she was at a conference.
