I am sure you have heard it said a thousand times – communication in any relationship is key! This is such a true statement – if you as a couple are talking well… speaking well and meeting each other half way then your battle is already won!
There are so many articles on just this topic… looking at what you should talk about and how you should talk about it. In this post though, that is not my focus. My focus is on something a little more tender. Yes relationships are hard work, yes you need to put the time and work in to reap the rewards… yes, yes, yes to all of that – BUT
Relationships are also fun. They are to be enjoyed, savoured and loved. Sometimes you just need to pause and enjoy each other and remember what it is you actually love to deeply about each other!
So… here are five things every couple should talk about (so they can just enjoy themselves)!
Spend Time Talking About Your Memories
Everything you do as a couple builds a memory. If you have been together for some time, you probably have a memory-bank full of memories! These are not to be stored and forgotten to gather dust, they are there to be remembered… to be celebrated and enjoyed.
Couples that reminisce together bond. Plain and simple. They push pause on their busy lives and and take a step back to a moment in time that connected them. They smile and laugh at moments in that memory. And so they strengthen their foundations!
Talk About Your Heroes
Knowing who inspires your partner is important. It gives you tremendous insight into who they are as a person and into what they believe in. It helps you to understand their thought processes a little better. It gives you direction on how you can support and encourage them in their own dreams and aspirations.
Take time to talk about your heroes and about the men and women who inspire you both. It is another step that will solidify your foundations as a couple and bring you closer together.
Do the Dad Jokes
Well, maybe Dad jokes is one step too far… but sharing inside jokes is a must! It is what brings you closer. It is those little secrets only you two share. Something that is yours. It is those corny one liners that see you smiling at random moments and at each other across the room. It is one of the best ways to bond as a couple!
Lay Out the Feelings
While gents may shudder at the mere thought of feelings talks these are really important. They are usually the conversations that see you both at your most vulnerable and being vulnerable with your partner at times is very important. These conversations bring support, they bring fresh perspectives and new insights. They draw you towards each other in a you-against-the-world partnership. A real Batman and Robin!
Problem Solvers
Maybe not as warm and fuzzy as the other topics… but chatting through problems is so important and is not something you should ever shy away from. These very adult conversations will level the playing field each time. They will clear conflict and help the two of you to grow as a couple. Growth is not always comfortable – but it is necessary and this is one of the best ways to achieve just this!
