50 Conversation Starters to Help Grow Your Relationship

Life can be so busy that we don’t always sit and talk, really talk, to the one we love the most. There’s so much happening with work, family, friends, and household errands that all too often we forget to take the time to connect with our partner and really tune into them and to provide an opportunity for them to tune in to us.

Everyone likes to feel heard and be listened to. There is a basic element of kindness of just being present and listening to your partner or loved one.

These conversations don’t have to be heavy or deeply vulnerable for either of you. It also doesn’t have to be a chore. They can be lighthearted stolen moments to brighten both your day and night. Consider them an opportunity to connect and bring some goodness between you two.

If you find that easy conversations tend to lead to an argument, you may want to read the link provided to give your conversations some guardrails to move through those challenging talks.

These conversations don’t need to be scheduled. In fact, spontaneous talks are sometimes the best. Consider chatting over morning coffee, setting aside some time together after dinner, while running errands, or mixing a cocktail and enjoying your own happy hour right after work.
