I often think about this question when I'm driving and I see possible couples in other cars constantly talking to eachother. I also see this when I am going out to eat with friends and observe how often other couples converse with eachother. Does a successful relationship mean that you are constantly connecting with eachother by always talking, whether you are in a car or going out to eat? Is there ever a place for silence?

The real key is do you actually like your spouse.... do you wanna go home to them, do you talk to them.... those are the questions to ask, and yes, there is a place for silence.....

it's so funny, how we don't talk anymore.....


you ever see older couples out to eat, well dressed, takes em 42 minutes to order, the man, may be sleeping behind the menu..they can take 1.5 hours to eat, and not say one word to each other...well,,maybe ask the other- where is the restroom?

yeah lots of people talk too much to each other

me, I happen to be very social and talkative so I like lots of conversation.. I also like to dig in subjects and really get to the bottom of things.. I can't just "let go" so when I'm in a relationship I tend to talk alot to my gf but yes, moments of silence and peace are very much needed as well.... u both have to kind of feel it when this has to take place

Do you have a group of girl friends to go out with? If so, always maintain that relationship even if you marry, and every two weeks/month go out to coffee with her. This is your time out of your relationship.

Yes, always share with your mate what ever happens in your day, something on the radio/tv. Some thought you had. And if you don't do anything else, spend one hour on the couch watching TV and talking, and some touching like rubbing feet or shoulders & back, not sexual. Relaxing together, touching.

My husband is content with silence. I love conversation. Don't get me wrong, we have some great conversations sometimes but I know if I want to keep talking I need to talk somewhere else. I saw Judge Judy on some talk show once and she said our generation is really big on communication, and feelings, and talking things out. She said her and her husband don't do that and she's fine with it. She said after being with him for so long they know each other so well that they know their needs and wants without constant communication. I can see how that works because I know what my husband wants most of the time just by looking at him.
