But what exactly do they talk about? Keeping reading to see how your relationship can go beyond the small talk.

1. They reminisce about their childhoods.

Snuggle up on the sofa with your partner and a photo album. Tell them a story about the photos that grab your attention (and don’t forget to ask them to do the same!).

2. They deal with their problems.

If you’re a superhero, your partner is your trusted sidekick. Don’t be afraid to ask for their input when you face problems in your professional life. They might think of a brilliant solution that you never would have imagined by yourself.

3. Fears and insecurities

By fears, we don't mean your phobia of earthworms. We're talking about things that make you wake up with gray hairs. What worries you? What do you want to improve in yourself? What are your past skeletons? In being vulnerable, you risk judgment, but more importantly, you chance finally being understood.

4. Embarrassing moments

If you can't share the awkward moments that occurred throughout high school with your partner, you can you tell them to? Don't be afraid to broach the subject, if you haven't already. We wouldn't be surprised if his stories are more horrifying (and hilarious) than yours.

5. TV, Movies, And Other Entertainment

Taste in movies, TV and entertainment matter. It helps when you both like the same things – but barring that, it helps when you can at least see each other’s perspectives and opinions. Plus, discovering that you both LOVE tense political dramas is a great moment – and foretells lots of happy nights curled up on the couch with each other.

6. The future

Happy couples talk about their future irrespective of how wonderful or scary they perceive it. It is important to discuss your goals, dreams and aspirations with your partner. This will enable them provide you the necessary support that will help accomplish your desires. Do not be afraid that it might scare your partner away and jeopardize the relationship. Your partner might just be interested in the same thing as you, and you will never know until you bring it up.

7. Past relationships

Well, it is probably not appropriate to start discussing your past relationships with someone you have just dated for a few weeks, but this could change when it comes to your better half. Try as much as possible to be honest with your partner and acknowledge what has happened in the past.
