Emotional Connection: How Was Your Day, Honey? Deeper Connection Answers
Most couples ask each other how their day was at least once a day.
It is not an effective communication. I want to connect with you. Do you still like me? Are we okay? Are you in good space?
What are you asking by asking the question and are there other ways to get connected?
The person you are asking might be literal and might not be in touch.
Try this workbook set and then ask different varieties of that question and let them know what you are asking. The first workbook solidly sets you up. Week two deepens it and reinforces the good habits from week one.
What is included:
1. This is a 7-day workbook designed to help you answer the question “How was your day?” with self-revealing honesty, emotional courage, and vulnerability—without collapsing into oversharing or emotional shutdown.
Designed for gentle emotional skill-building, relational depth, and daily vulnerability practice.
2. Week two deepens this. It is a revised and expanded version of the 7-Day Workbook, now including emotional practices of saying “I’m sorry,” “Thank you,” and being emotionally honest even when it’s difficult—woven into the structure of each day.

Part 2 Deals with Emotional Intimacy- very specific exercises to try to become more deeply connected.
Part 3 is more of a bonus section- I borrowed from the Pick Up Artists- ways to emotionally connect to your loved one. The techniques are effective in keeping the emotional connection and adding spark- to be used ethically- not manipulate and talk about them and whether you want to use them.
