Improving Your Relationship by Writing About it

I am a big fan of journaling.
Writing about our deepest thoughts and feelings for 20 minutes a day for just 3 days is associated with improved health, improved immune functioning, lessening of psychological distress following painful events and improved relationships..
This lovely study by James Pennebaker found that when couples journal their deepest thoughts and feelings about their relationship, they then tend to become more emotionally expressive with each other and are more likely to be together 3 months later.
