This publication, updated in 2022, is one of six Purdue Extension fact sheets about couple relationships that lists strategies and activities for enhancing a relationship. Couples who have regular, meaningful conversations with each other seem to manage challenges that life throws at them. Even when you are not overwhelmed with the demands of day-to-day life, meaningful conversations with your partner are like putting money in the bank. You are creating and storing fond memories that can be a positive resource for dealing with future challenges. This fact sheet tells how you can make such conversations a habit.
