What’s the secret to a thriving marriage in the spotlight? For carsten Maschmeyer, 66, and Veronica Ferres, 60, it’s a consistent practice of open communication and self-reflection, a ritual they call “relationship maintenance.” The entrepreneur revealed details of this unique approach in a recent interview.
A Weekly Check-In for Relationship Health
Maschmeyer explained that every week, the couple dedicates time for a focused “date night” – a phone-free zone were they engage in honest dialog. “We ask each other three questions: What did I pleasantly surprise you with? How have I disappointed you? what do you want me to change?” he shared. This isn’t just a yearly review; it’s a continuous process of evaluation and adjustment.
At the end of each year, they expand on this principle, taking a broader look at the past twelve months. “What sustained us as a couple, where do we need to be careful?” Maschmeyer described. He believes this openness is a key factor in the stability of their relationship.
Beyond the Relationship: Family and Future Outlook
Maschmeyer highlighted the importance of family, particularly the joy of bringing together his blended family, or Patchwork-Familie, when schedules allow. He described himself as “just the husband and what my sons call me: the grandpa,” a shift from his busy travel schedule.
Looking ahead to 2026, Maschmeyer and Ferres prioritize good health and dedicated time together, acknowledging their demanding careers often keep them apart.They also wish for continued “family harmony and peace, in small and large ways.”
Prioritizing People Over Resolutions
Maschmeyer isn’t a fan of fleeting New Year’s resolutions. Instead, he focuses on defining priorities.”For me in the coming year that means continuing to invest in young people who make our lives healthier,more digital,more sustainable and better,” he said. He also intends to prioritize personal time with family and friends.
