relationship advice | 37 questions for serious couples
I think a conversation would have really gone a long way.
As a professional
counselor that specializes in helping couples to improve the success of the relationship while evaluating common topics that if not addressed create tension and disconnect. I have found that couples who invest in their relationship tend to reap the benefits.
The benefits include:
Better fights
Intimate sex
Closer connection
I want to share with you conversation topics that can improve your relationship. The goal is to allow the conversation topic to take hold of the relationship and lead it in a stronger and healthier direction.
