6. Internal world
Letting your partner know what’s running through your mind is also important in any relationship. Whether you’re processing something that happened at work or thinking about something from the past, talk about it with your partner.
Todd encouraged couples to ‘get into the habit of inviting each other inside’ your mind by ‘sharing inner thoughts and feelings’ often.
7. Dreams and future plans
Couples should also discuss their future plans and is something that should be done from day one, Todd claims.
‘Share literal dreams when asleep, share lofty and grandiose dreams of professional success. Share your five, 10, 15 and 20-year plans,’ he said.
