Our Year: one evening

A short evening for the two of you, in the spirit of the journal: each writes on their own about the past year, then you read each other.

Cover of Then, Now, Next

Each of you writes on your own page, without seeing the other’s. Then you read each other, and talk. That is the heart of Then, Now, Next: two voices first, then one conversation.

Twenty-seven sessions take you along one route. THEN: how you met, the worlds you came from, the moment you became “us.” NOW: what your days are really like, what you see in each other, and what feels like home. NEXT: the house you would live in, a trip with no limits, three completely different lives, and one real first step.

  • Your own page for each of you in every session, and a shared page for what you find together
  • Questions drawn from relationship research, with sources inside
  • Every evening or once a week, at your own pace

For couples with a story to look back on, whether it is three years long or thirty.
