[quote=Anonymous]My DH was not great at conversation when we met but he has improved drastically over the years. First, I let him know how important it is for me. Then I created opportunities to engage in conversation.

For example, I tried to make dinnertime more relaxed. We slowed things down, have a drink together (can be non alcoholic) before dinner. We added a pre-dinner course and chatted together before the main course. Doesn't have to be anything fancy. Even something as simple as unshelled peanuts offers a few minutes to just be together and talk. Those 15 minutes a day really helped us to associate relaxation and conversation with each other. It's helped a lot.

We also got rid of the TV. We didn't have a TV for years so there was more opportunity to talk to each other for fun and entertainment. We now have a TV but it's not in the bedroom and neither of us watches it very much.

We try to do one big project together a year. Right now we're starting a small scholarship fund. It's nothing grand or anything but sharing a project really allows us to connect.
