Quick answer
Pick one prompt, both answer honestly, no fixing mid-reply, end with one appreciation. Repeat daily. For a longer list, see relationship check-in questions.

Why daily beats “when we have time”
Couples rarely lose connection in one dramatic moment. They lose it in skipped evenings and unread needs. A tiny daily ritual catches distance early — before it becomes a fight about “you never talk to me.”
Text-friendly check-in prompts
- One word for how today felt — and one sentence why.
- What is one thing I did (or could do) that would make tonight easier?
- What are you carrying that I might not see?
- One appreciation for me, no “but.”
- On a scale of 1–10, how connected do you feel tonight — and what would move it +1?
- Anything we should clear before bed?
How to run it in 3 minutes
- Same time cue. After dinner, before bed, or on the commute home.
- One prompt only. Depth comes from honesty, not volume.
- No courtroom. Reflect first (“I hear you felt alone”) before advice.
- Close the loop. One appreciation or one tiny next step.
App, WhatsApp, or Telegram?
Use whatever you already open every day. Lumo lives in the app, WhatsApp, and Telegram — so the check-in can meet you in chat when installing another app feels like too much.
FAQ
What if my partner hates structured talks?
Call it a “two-line update,” not a meeting. Start three nights a week. Let them answer later asynchronously.
Daily vs weekly check-in?
Daily = pulse. Weekly = deeper topics. Many couples do both: a micro daily text and one longer Sunday chat.
