Reach Those Relationship Goals Using Journals and Workbooks


We all love our partners; otherwise, you probably wouldn't be reading this blog! But that doesn’t mean that relationships are all plain sailing. Every couple has discrepancies, problems, miscommunications, whatever you want to call them - it's normal. But what separates the normal from the incredible is how we deal with our issues. 


As any therapist will tell you, you get back what you put in when it comes to relationships. That said, no matter how long you’ve been together, everyone can use a helping hand now and then. Whether you already know of a few issues you need to work on, or you're just being proactive about ensuring your relationship is the best it can be, we’ve got 4 exceptional journals that will help you take your relationship to new heights.

Love More, Fight Less: Communication Skills Every Couple Needs: A Relationship Workbook for Couples

First up, we have the wonderful workbook ‘Love More, Fight Less’. It’s completely normal for any two (or more) people who spend a significant time together to disagree. You are not the same person, therefore, there will be differences. Disagreements are healthy, but learning how to navigate them can be somewhat tricky.


This workbook is all about learning how to communicate effectively. It explains the common issues regarding topics like intimacy, money, and jealousy and how to navigate those issues so they bring you closer rather than move you apart. The book is also filled with activities to help you build self-awareness, identify emotional reactivity, and eliminate judgment. If you want to truly learn how to work through your conflicts and strengthen your relationship, this is the book for you.

100 Things I Love About You: A Journal

The next book we have is entirely different from the first, but just as important nonetheless. Filling out this journal for your other half is a wonderful way to say ‘I love you'. It’s all very well saying those three words, but it’s the small details of why you love someone that really means a lot. 


Each page in 100 Things I Love About You is an opportunity to show why you love them. The pages include prompts such as ‘Your strongest quirk that I love is…’, or ‘...always reminds me of our first date’. Anyone would love to receive a book of 100 reasons why they’re loved, but we’re sure that completing it yourself will be just as enjoyable as reading it.
