“The premise for meetings is that there's the ability to connect on a different level. That's part of why we say we have them because we're in business together. But if you're not in business together, you can have that opportunity to connect and be sure that you're on the same page.” - Lexie Lee In any relationship, whether it's romantic, platonic, or professional, it is crucial to have regular communication and connection. One effective way to achieve this is by having a weekly meeting dedicated to discussing important aspects of the relationship. This practice can be particularly beneficial when it comes to discussing finances, scheduling, project management, and problem-solving. By setting aside time each week for this purpose, you create a dedicated space to openly discuss financial matters. This includes budgeting, expenses, savings goals, and any other financial concerns that may arise. Regularly addressing these topics can help prevent misunderstandings or conflicts related to money. Additionally, a weekly meeting allows for effective scheduling and project management discussions. By reviewing upcoming commitments together and coordinating schedules, you can ensure that both parties are on the same page regarding important events or deadlines. This helps avoid conflicts or last-minute changes that could negatively impact your relationship. Furthermore, dedicating time for problem-solving during these meetings allows both individuals to address any issues or concerns that may have arisen since the last meeting. It provides an opportunity for open dialogue and finding solutions together in a constructive manner. By addressing problems promptly and collaboratively in a dedicated setting, you can maintain a healthy and thriving relationship. Ultimately, having a weekly meeting serves as an invaluable tool for maintaining strong communication in your relationship. It allows you to connect regularly on various important topics such as finances, scheduling, project management, and problem-solving. By making this commitment to connect and talk consistently with one another, you lay the foundation for long-term success and happiness in your relationship.
