Communication brings lovers together and makes it easy for them to
build chemistry and love. The conversations you have with your
significant other play a strong role in determining how happy, fun and
strong your relationship will be.
No matter how difficult some topics may seem sometimes, discussing
them will help ease a lot of tension and leave room for your
relationship to grow. You’ll also find that you both understand each
other better.

It doesn’t matter whether you are in a new relationship or you’ve
been married for years. These topics will not only help you get closer
to your lover; it will also give you ideas on what to talk about when it
feels like you are running out of topics. And you can always refine and
repeat them as you and your partner will always have different answers
each time they come up. This way, you’ll never run out of interesting
conversations.
1. Plans for the weekend (or a vacation)
It doesn’t matter whether it’s a frustrating Monday evening or
Thursday night. Talking about your plans for the weekend and you’ll both
have something exciting to look forward to. It will also motivate you
to work and get through the week with much enthusiasm. Planning way
ahead of time for a vacation or that little getaway also gives you both
things to discuss and deliberate on. So plan on!
2. Work
A simple “how did your day go” and an honest answer can lead to a
conversation you will both cherish. And there is always something to
talk about work. From a weird colleague to a bad boss to the tasks you
have to complete, these conversations will help you both understand each
other’s professional sides better.
3. Sex
Sexual intimacy is as important as romantic gestures. Talk about what
turns you on, the positions or toys you’d like to try, your sexually
sensitive spots, your secret fantasies and every other thing related to
sex. This will both be exciting and revealing at the same time, and
you’ll find yourselves discovering new things about each other. However,
this also includes problems in bed. Speak up about them or they will
eventually turn around and bite you in the back. If your partner is not
performing as expected or your sex drive has reduced drastically, talk
about it. Think of or suggest new ways of handling it together and you
will be one step towards overcoming these issues.
4. Pay compliments
Tell your partner the things you like about them. Make a habit of
appreciating their personality or little things they did the day before,
even the ones they didn’t realise that they were doing. Appreciating
people encourages them to do more.
5. Worries
What is bothering or worrying you? Simple question, right? But this
is something that will make your partner feel loved and cared for. They
may have no worries, but the thought that you care will make them
cherish being in a relationship with you. Also talk about health issues,
whether they are easy to mention.
6. Secrets
Talking about secrets is fun, telling but fun. You can turn it into a
game where you each reveal a new dirty, little secret. It will help you
get to know each other intimately.
7. Shows and Movies
Well, this always gives you something to talk about. New shows and
movies come out every week. Watch one together and talk about it. Laugh
at them for crying when Mufasa died while you watched
Lion King again.
8. The future and the past
The past may not always be fun and exciting to talk about, but there
will surely be hilarious moments to mention, like the times you did
silly things as a child or your childhood dreams. You do not need to
talk about painful memories like past relationships or go into sexual
details. Talk about your plans for the future: the goals you have, your
dreams, aspirations and life pursuits. Tell them what you intend to do.
This will help the both of you understand each other’s views. Talk about
where you see yourselves as a couple in five years. Make goals that
will urge you both to work towards strengthening your relationship.
9. Places
Talk about your favourite restaurants, that bukka you just discovered
in the next street, a dream location you stumbled across on the
internet, places you’d like to visit over the weekend or on special
days, or a cool spot you could both sit silently or make out in. It will
give you both the chance to explore these places together.
10. Personal interests
What do you truly enjoy doing? Share these thoughts with your partner
and see which interests conflict and which ones complement one another.
When these interests complement each other, try doing them together as
it will bring you closer.
11. Family and friends
Knowing (about) your partner’s friends takes you a step closer to
learning more about them. Also, talking about each other’s families
provides you with hours and hours of interesting gist. You may have to
consciously stop yourselves. This also makes first introductions to
family and friends easier and more fun.
12. Opinions and preferences
Never hold your thoughts back from someone you love. Speak up and
state your personal opinions. Talk about each other’s likes and
dislikes. Preferences and opinions change with time and new information.
The more you know about each other’s preferences, the better you know
about them.
13. Improvement
Talk about your flaws and the ways you’d like to improve. Releasing
your vulnerabilities freely will help your partner relax more around you
and they will break down their own walls and talk about theirs too.
Offer and receive advice and suggestions on ways you can both improve
yourselves.
14. Offer to help
Offer to help your partner with something, regardless of whether it
is an easy chore or a hard one. Working together on a task brings you
closer together. Plus they will be glad you helped. Talk about ways you
can help them around the house with chores and housework.
15. Proud moments
Ask your partner to tell you about the moments in life when they’ve
felt really proud of their own achievements. Memorable moments and
childhood memories always provide for hours of fun, hilarious
conversations.
