Conversation starters to bond you and your special one

Communication is the key to a healthy relationship, and it is one of the main causes of many breakups.

The moment you stop having open conversations as a couple, things start to go wrong.

No matter what stage of the relationship you're at, there's still so much you can learn from each other, and it's during these times that you can discuss these important issues.

I know this may not be the guys' cup of tea, but this proactive way of communicating will certainly deepen your bond.

If you really want to know how your significant other is doing, you need to start asking better questions than the boring 'how are you' or 'how was your day'.

Here are some great conversation starters to try out.

Now this is a much better way to get to know what is happening in your partner’s life instead of asking how they are doing. This will get more interesting with the answers and you can build the conversation from there.

If your relationship is still fresh, find out the type of love and support they would like to receive from you. Learn about the different love languages and start doing what he or she feels their needs are being met.

Deciding on where to settle down can lead to a breakup if you have different ideas on where you would like to settle down in future. They may have plans to relocate entirely to a different country or move back to where they grew up which can be a deal breaker.

Assuming you have been in a long-term relationship you are probably engaging in sex. It is important to ask your partner if they are satisfied and whether there are things you can do to have more bedroom fun.
