Check-in

A short, intentional conversation where partners share how they're feeling about the relationship and surface anything that needs attention.

Why it matters

Check-ins catch the small things early. Done regularly, they keep resentment from building and make it normal to say what you need — so the big conversations, when they come, start from a place of trust rather than surprise.

Tracking check-ins

Writing a line after each one turns scattered talks into a record of what your partner actually needs over time. In Fervra it's private by default, and you choose what a linked partner can see.
