Telling things, including embarrassing and experienced by your partner is a way to find out who he really is. Don't be afraid to tell embarrassing things, because who else can you tell about unusual events.

Starting from regulations, laws, to when the election can be a 'serious' conversation. But isn't a healthy relationship also about background thinking and a bit philosophical?

Talk about what makes you afraid and insecure in order to understand each other. Something that makes a person feel vulnerable, such as a bad past, needs to be shared with a partner so that they can support each other.

4. Stories about childhood

Ask your partner what he or she was like as a child. What is his favorite toy until his school days. Childhood memories are not only fresh and fun chats, they can also provide insight into how your partner became the person they are today.

The future can be filled with uncertainty if there is no meaningful conversation about the plans, dreams, actions, and achievements of each or with a partner. Open to each other will be easier to measure and position themselves.
