And if you're asked an opinion on something, don't say 'I don't care.' Doesn't wash. [/ QUOTE ] Along with that, don't ever reply "Whatever you think/like/want."

Re: What do married couples talk about?

Here is what not to talk about. Don't ever start a conversation with: "So, what is it exactly you do all day while I'm at work?" [/ QUOTE ] This is a very important point. You don't want to hear about how she was out spending your hard-earned money or banging the UPS man. Nothing good ever comes from that question. Of course the best way to find out the answer to the question is to pay your kids to spy on mommy.

Sometimes we talk about not talking enough.

What do married couples talk about? [/ QUOTE ] Whose picking up the kids from X's house, running Bobby Jr to football practice, Sally to swimming. Whose picking up the cookie dough from the school tomorrow from that fund raising thing we paid for (again, for the 9th year in a row). Don't forget to write the check for sally's lunch money, she's out again. Can you drop by the store on the way home, we're out of milk. Married couples with kids don't talk, they schedule chaufeur and go-fer runs.

Me: Honey, I'm home what's for dinner? Wife: Whatever you decide to make. Me: Uh, okay. What did you and kids do today? Wife: Those little hellions didn't listen to a word I said. All they want to do is watch TV. You deal with them tonight. I've had enough. Me: Uh, that sounds fine. Wow, you are really looking great today. How about we watch a movie after I get the kids settled down? Wife: Just settle down and get your dinner. I'm not in mood for anything tonight. [/ QUOTE ] oh my god... were you at my house last night? I need to find that camera and turn it off.

Re: What do married couples talk about?
I have noticed that my wife and I do a ton of conversation that involves scheduling around the children, and figuring out when we can plan our next quickie, but that's hardly everything.
I think most of the people who have the "wife and I never talk syndrome" are because they have a wife who is a stay at home mom who does not persue other interests. As such... she honestly doesn't have much to talk about. When I was younger I was a huge believer that my wife needed to have a career before I married her. It meant she was driven, she was capable of living her own life, and we would always have something to talk about. Honestly, 30 minutes to an hour a day are taken up by "what did you do today at work" as we relate stories back and forth, and I even get to do the occasional Chris Rock 'Bitch is crazy!' which is funny, especially since she gets it. Communication comes from having something to talk about. Too often, couples stop developing as individuals, as run out of things to share. Just my 2 cents. Ray
