Apologies for being cynical but this is a nothing article that offers no real advice.
Open communication isn't just about checking in frequently, and talking doesn't guarantee that each person will feel listened to.
Communication is much more than just setting aside time to talk.
I would have much preferred if the author gave specific strategies for listening and being more effective at communication rather than high level generic advice.
My advice for co-founders that are serious about being better at communication: hire a marriage and/or relationship counselor to help you with your communication.
I think it's valuable to at least raise an issue even if you don't have the perfect set of advice to deal with it. Sharing such experiences can help others recognise their own problems. IMHO launching into ways to fix this issue would have taken away from the post by being overly prescriptive about solutions.
