Why Do Deep Conversations Matter in Relationships? You’ve probably read that communication is key to a healthy relationship. What does that really entail though? If you want to have a more meaningful connection with your partner, you’ve got to start diving below the surface, everyday conversations with them. Asking deep questions forces emotional vulnerability and it often involves having a good dose of trust in your partner and vice versa. So, if you want to bring your relationship to the next level, consider asking your boyfriend meaningful, deep questions that can lead to thoughtful discussions. These conversations offer insight into your boyfriend’s inner world, values, and long-term aspirations. More than that, you discover how compatible you really are, and more importantly if there’s any red flags you need to look out for.
