#25 Personal opinions. If you truly love each other, don't hold your thoughts back if you want to share what's on your mind with your lover. It doesn't matter if it's a suggestion or a warning, if you feel it, say it. Your partner will feel good to know that you're always looking out for them no matter what. It always feels good, doesn't it, when you know that you have a special someone who cares so much about you?

Use these topics to talk about in your relationship, and you'll never run out of interesting conversations. And both of you will feel closer to each other with each passing day too.
