As a former monk turned bestselling author, podcast host, and motivational speaker, Jay has devoted his life to helping others build stronger, more meaningful connections.

Stoke is designed to help couples cultivate meaningful connections by remembering the small details that matter and turning everyday moments into opportunities for love and appreciation. It’s like having a relationship assistant in your pocket, helping you to keep the spark alive with timely reminders, thoughtful suggestions, and personalized insights.

In this post, we’ll explore Jay Shetty’s 8-step process and show how using Stoke alongside his guidance can supercharge your efforts, making it easier to not just save your relationship but to help it thrive.

1. Pause Before Reacting

Jay’s first piece of advice is to take a moment before reacting during a disagreement. Stoke can support this by offering context at just the right time. Imagine receiving a gentle reminder that your partner values a moment to collect their thoughts before discussing a conflict, or a notification highlighting a fun memory that brings levity to a tense situation. By keeping track of your partner's preferences and needs, Stoke helps you approach conversations with a clear head and a loving heart.

2. Take Responsibility

Shetty emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in relationships, encouraging individuals to own their actions. Stoke makes it easier to stay on top of the promises you make to your partner. Whether it’s a birthday gift you promised or an upcoming event you’ve planned together, Stoke keeps all those commitments in one place, ensuring that you never forget to follow through. In a world where life often gets in the way, Stoke keeps you accountable and helps build trust by making sure you’re always on top of the little things that mean so much.

3. Have a Clear, Calm Conversation

Jay advises couples to communicate openly and calmly, but sometimes that’s easier said than done. Stoke provides a helping hand here by curating thoughtful conversation starters and reminders about your partner's favorite topics or recent experiences. By making sure you have relevant and positive things to talk about, Stoke fosters deeper, more meaningful conversations, even in moments of tension. When you’re feeling unsure, Stoke is there to guide you toward a more loving, productive dialogue.

4. Create a Space for Growth

Relationships need room to evolve, and Jay Shetty encourages couples to nurture each other’s personal growth. Stoke supports this by constantly updating your partner’s preferences and interests, offering personalized suggestions for new activities or experiences. Want to surprise your partner with a new hobby they’ve been eyeing? Stoke keeps track of these details so you can stay one step ahead in helping each other grow. By regularly introducing new ideas and opportunities, Stoke keeps the excitement alive and encourages growth together.

5. Forgive and Let Go of Resentment

Forgiveness is key to moving forward in any relationship. While Shetty advises couples to let go of resentment, Stoke can help make that process smoother by reminding you of your partner's acts of kindness, shared moments of joy, and their efforts to make things right. Stoke encourages a focus on the positive, reminding you of why you love your partner and helping you to shift your mindset from conflict to appreciation. By keeping the good times front and center, Stoke makes it easier to let go of grudges and move forward with grace.

6. Focus on the Positive

Jay reminds us to always highlight what’s going well in the relationship. Stoke is built on this philosophy. It provides you with reminders of your partner’s favorites and helps you come up with thoughtful ways to show your appreciation. Whether it’s sending you a prompt to grab their favorite treat after a long day or suggesting a spontaneous date night, Stoke makes it simple to focus on the little joys that make your relationship strong. By keeping positivity at the forefront, Stoke reinforces the good and helps you nurture the love you share.

7. Plan for the Future

Looking ahead is crucial to sustaining a relationship. Stoke excels at future planning by reminding you of key dates and suggesting personalized experiences to look forward to. Whether it’s planning a romantic weekend getaway, organizing a special surprise for an anniversary, or simply keeping track of your partner’s bucket list, Stoke ensures that your future together is filled with excitement and connection. By helping you stay proactive, Stoke turns planning into an opportunity for deeper intimacy.

8. Get Professional Help When Needed

While Jay Shetty encourages couples to seek professional help when necessary, Stoke can support this by making sure you have all the necessary resources at hand. Whether it’s the contact information for a trusted therapist or a reminder to set time aside for a couples’ retreat, Stoke helps you take those important next steps when outside guidance is needed. It keeps you focused on what’s important and helps you find the right tools to support your relationship when challenges arise.
