THE YEAR WENT BY IN LOGISTICS
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Did most of your real conversations this year happen in the car, late at night, about schedules?
Does one of you plan, remember, and notice, while the other assumes it's handled?
Did a hard stretch end without either of you saying what it cost?
Do you keep meaning to sit down and talk about the two of you, and never quite do?
THE GAP ISN'T LOVE. IT'S A SETTING.
Most couples review their year by accident: after a holiday, or in the middle of an argument about something else. This planner gives that conversation a better setting. You each write first, then compare, then plan the next year together on a different day.
ONE OF THE PAGES
Who held what this year: the money, the calendar, the house, family, the remembering.
Mark it honestly. Nobody wins this page.
Then, for anything you want to change: one concrete handoff. Who takes what, starting when.
WRITE BEFORE YOU TALK.
Each of you fills in your own pages first, then you read them to each other one question at a time. The listener's only job is to understand. Different memories aren't a problem to solve; they're information. Then, on a different day, you plan the year ahead together and keep one page where you'll both see it.
WHAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY BUYING
Introducing
THE YEAR IN REVIEW, FOR TWO
Fourteen pages for the conversation most couples mean to have and never get to. Two sittings, a page for each of you, and one page the two of you keep.
What's inside:
Set the Table: ten minutes of setup before you start
Our Year at a Glance: one line for every month
Looking Back, On Your Own: one copy each, written before you talk
Who Held What: the work you split without ever deciding to
Keep, Stop, Start, and the year ahead by season
Our Year, on One Page: the page you keep
It isn't couples therapy, and it won't solve a big problem in one evening. It gives the two of you one honest hour about the year, and a plan you both agreed to.
See the year the same way, or know exactly where you don't.
Talk about a hard stretch without reopening the argument.
Make the invisible work visible, and hand some of it back.
Decide what to keep, stop and start, in a list short enough to remember.
Put time for the two of you on the calendar before everything else fills it.
Agree on the small rules that stop the same argument from repeating.
WHAT IT COSTS
Fourteen pages, typeable or printable. No subscription, no course. Buy it once and use it every year: print a fresh copy each December.
$27
I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist. I work with people who hold a great deal together — a company, a family, a full life — and are navigating anxiety and relationships.
Most couples I see don't lack love or effort. What they lack is a regular, protected place to talk about the relationship instead of the logistics. This planner is that place, once a year.
ONE LAST THING
The gap isn't love. It's a setting.
