An Idea

[desiderata]

My wife and I work different shifts and don't see each other through the week. We communicate via text and email about our kids, work, finances, etc. Our relationship has been strained for a while and very strained recently and it can come out over the weekend or stay bottled up inside by not talking.
My idea is to have each of us keep a journal through the week of our thoughts, feelings, worries, joys, or whatever. These will be individual thoughts or those we have towards each other. We can then set aside a time on the weekend to share these thoughts with each other. My hope is to get a better understanding of each other and to let out and know what is going on each other's head and discuss our differences and embrace our commonalities.
What do you think?

If one can talk openly about what each of you have written without emotions i guess coming into play hard one to judge really but anything that can promote communication i think is a good thing.
