If your wife can't remember the last time you made her laugh, you have a leadership gap to close.
Reflect
Answer honestly — your responses save to this device only. There are no right answers, only true ones.
When was the last time I planned something fun without her having to ask, hint, or remind me?
What did I used to do when we were dating that I have quietly stopped doing?
What am I prioritizing over playfulness — work, phone, hobbies, exhaustion?
What is one new experience I will pursue with her in the next 30 days?
How often do I make her laugh on purpose, and how do I want that number to change?
What does my wife consider 'fun' that I have been dismissing as silly?
Act
Pick one. Do it before Sunday. Check it off when it's done.
Discuss
These prompts are designed for connection — not debate. Listen more than you talk.
Each list 5 'small joys' the other does that you love. Read them out loud.

Plan a $0 date and a $200 date together right now on paper.
"Joy is not optional maintenance — it is the glue that holds you together when life gets heavy."
