Your Voice On Life, Love & Marriage

Comunicating

Q

What are the topics that you and your spouse discuss most in your free time alone together?

  
  

Your Voice:

  • The kids, our relatives, how work is going for each of us, how we can spend more time together , plans for the week/month ahead
  • Work, budget issues, items of interest
  • Our days at the jobs and children
    Kids, money
  • Children, jobs, chores, scheduling, sex
  • Our relationship, finances, the future
  • What is wrong with life in the USA.
    What politicians are doing for American Families...usually nothing. Bills, debt, how can we get ahead.
  • What's for dinner! Our health, infertility problems and plans, general plans for the future, other family members, religion, politics, all kinds of stuff.
  • Children and work.
  • We discuss nothing more often than the children. I guess that is better than the conversation in second place, which is always, how much money I am overspending.
  • Family, friends, our relationship, anything that pops up.
  • Our children first, followed by our jobs. Then money/bills to be paid, matters affecting the rest of the family, holidays and the future.
  • We don't have much free time together and when we do we don't discuss anything. He has never been able to communicate with me. When I carry the conversation, it's very one-sided because you can never tell what he's thinking.
  • We mostly talk about sex.....the kids and when were going to be able to spend time alone again!!!
  • Work, kids, politics, family, Future, Sex, Friends, Family, Work
  • Our children, buying a house, shmoozing
  • Books we are reading, vacations we want to go on, catching up on news about each other's work and activities, what the kids are up to, stuff we want to do to fix the house, planning for the future.
  • Starting a family, my family, finances, his job
  • What we want in the future, dreams, children, life, travel, and things that mean the most to us individually and together.
  • Interference by her family in our private life. Sex Life (Lack Thereof)
  • We have no free time. She throws herself at sports . She refuses to make time to discuss problems. She won't go to a counselor...
  • Work and money
  • Bills, kids
  • He has a monolog about his hobbies.
    Our children, plans for the upcoming week and long term plans.
    Plans for the future - projects to work on around the house, hopes for a vacation together to work on our relationship. Also we talk about problems recently in our marriage and how we're trying to work things out.
  • Work and money.
