Ten Weeks to a Better Marriage Relationship: Part 10

Daily dialogue requires that you take twenty minutes out of your day to connect with your mate on a feeling level. Take no more than ten minutes to write a letter to your spouse on a question that the two of you have agreed to write on.

Then sit down together, exchange your letters, read them, and then discuss your feelings about what you've just read. This shouldn't last more than ten minutes.

Many couples who commit to dialoguing for 90 days straight often find their relationship deepened, and continue to write and dialogue with one another on a regular basis.
