This episode walks couples through a simple, ten-minute ‘Reverse Retrospective’—a weekly practice adapted from team retrospectives to help partners notice progress, reframe problems without blame, and create one tiny action that moves the relationship forward. Kelvin guides listeners through short prompts for naming two wins, translating one annoyance into a need, and crafting a single micro-commitment to try before the next week. The practice fits into busy schedules, reduces spirals of criticism, and builds a steady habit of mutual learning. Listeners will get exact language to use, a safe structure that prevents defensiveness, and tips for making the ritual feel warm rather than mechanical. By the end you’ll have a repeatable 10-minute plan that increases appreciation, clarifies one improvement, and keeps connection steady over time.
