PAIRS Wallet Cards - Daily Temperature Reading/ Dialogue Guide (Set of 100)

The Daily Temperature Reading, also known as the "DTR," is a tool for watering the garden of your most important relationships. With practice, the DTR becomes a habit, making it natural to look for-and express- appreciations to one another, keep each other up-to-date on the developments in our lives, ask questions about anything we're wondering about so we don't have to assume, express concerns or complaints directly along with specific requests for change, and talk about our individual and shared goals for the future.

The Dialogue Guide, also known as the PAIRS Talking Tips, is another tool meant to provide a safe way of expressing feelings and emotions without the partner agreeing, commenting, judging, getting into a discussion, or trying to fix the problem. This tool is meant to reinforce good talking and good listening. After completing the Talking Tips, the issue can be discussed or roles may be reversed.
