4 Must-Have Conversation Topics for Long-Term Couples

Whether you’ve been in a long term relationship or still looking for one, you need to read this. There will be challenges ahead of love. And although you may feel like you get just the right gut feeling for someone, it’d be precarious if you use only that to base a long-term love. Below are 4 conversation topics to give you food for thought. 

How’s Everything Going So Far?

Everyone has a different expectation when they decide to start a relationship with someone. The problem is whether those hopes are fulfilled or not. And unlike in the business world, where people tend to be honest when things don’t go as they want them to be, people in a relationship tend to keep their disappointed feelings to themselves. It is you and your partner’s job to make it as a conversational topic. However, don’t turn it into a blame game. 

Future Personal Goals

People are determined by their dreams, but many seem to forget that principle when they get into a relationship, especially the long-term one, marriage. After years and years of being together, each individual in the relationship begins to lose themselves. The purpose of their life seems to be unified, which may sound good on the surface, but that is exactly the reason why some couples in a long term relationship suddenly lose interest over each other. 

Try to remember your first date. What got you interested in your partner the most? It’s their vision in life, right? Try to rekindle that very same spirit in your relationship, and you’ll feel how positively different everything is. 

Sexual Fantasies

People can maintain a caring relationship with each other without sex, for sure. And for most people, they call such a relationship as a friendship. As lovers, sex is essential to a healthy relationship. It affects both physical and psychological health. But somehow, many of us leave this topic unchecked. Even for those who claim themselves to be progressive, topics like bisexuality, casual sex/sexe grauit, and using toys in bed still remain taboos. The conservative side in the relationship is the one who’s supposed to open their mind and grow up. It’s the kink the fuels up sex. 

Break-Up Scenario

You may perceive this as crazy. “Why bother talking about a break-up in a long-term relationship?” you may ask yourself. Well, there is this thing called ‘being abusive’ that you have to understand. And in most cases, both offenders and victims lack the very language to describe the very toxic relationship they are in. However, if you both feel like each of you only brings the worst out of each other, it may be a sign. 

Also, talking about a break-up scenario gives both and your partner a safe feeling. It shows that you don’t possess a monstrous ego that feeds on the destruction of others in case they refuse to obey your will.
