Why these worksheets exist

Many couples struggle to talk about intimacy not because they lack desire, but because conversations feel loaded, awkward, or risky.

Writing things down first:

• lowers emotional pressure
• allows reflection without immediate response
• creates space for honest, nuanced answers

These worksheets are intentionally simple, neutral, and adaptable.

How to use these worksheets

There is no “right” way.

Some couples:

• fill them independently, then compare
• use them as journaling prompts
• revisit the same worksheet over time

The goal is not agreement, but understanding.

About the project

These worksheets are part of a broader reflection on how couples talk about intimacy.

They eventually inspired a small private web app called Yes · No · Maybe, which turns these written frameworks into a shared, private space couples can revisit over time.
