This is an absolutely horrible idea.

You mean the annual argument with your wife where she lists all the things you need to do and/or do more of (or more often) that ends with you telling her to stop being a bitch? That good idea?

The required annual sexual harassment videos are so boring.

But it can’t hurt to consciously take a few minutes to sit down and jot this stuff down with your spouse, right?

I doubt what either of us has to say will be a surprise but sometimes it’s good to sit down and take stock.

They put it out there for the world to see so they want people to care

Well, sure. The example in the video just seems really forced. If it works for them, cool. But I don’t see this practically working in most relationships.

Most healthy couples check in pretty regularly, it’s just not formal like this.

I mean, I’m always looking for good examples of things to share with clients I see for couples therapy.

I just don’t see this as very practical in its format. That said, they put it out there to be seen so folks are going to comment.

No, you deal with that shite as it arises. A "review" seems like a reason to find fault with your spouse.

So they met in person, discussed their favorite memories of the past year, discussed what they would like to do this year, and both seemed to enjoy it? Where's the problem here. Probably not how I would do it, but seems like there are open lines of communication and marriage conversation

It’s not a bad idea

I remember hearing someone say that marriage should be a 5 year term where every 5 years you meet with a board or counselor and decide if you should renew or not.

IDK, I loved being married.

Every day you can be with someone you love is a good day.

Treasure them, and let the small stuff slide...

My wife is the friendliest person I know but her ‘memory’ for verbal communication is abysmal. This isn’t the worst idea for our relationship at all so we can write some things down to later discuss and she can’t say we never discussed it or she doesnt remember ever discussing it.

Verbal communication in a marriage is only so good, writing some things down really does help us.

We may need to mount an intervention to save him. We can't lose him to something like this. He's too valuable.
