Check-in

A short, agreed time to hear how the week felt, look ahead, and discuss one useful change or next step.

What it looks like at home

You might start with thanks, confirm the busy evenings, and decide who will arrange the next date.

The useful distinction

Keep bigger decisions in their own conversation when they need more room. Either partner can ask to pause or choose another time.
