Being mentally, emotionally, and soulfully articulate with the one you love most is one of life's greatest rewards. This is what makes you a high-quality man and an exceptional human being.
1. Talk about her interest
We're more than just our jobs and the weather. What makes her heart and soul sing?
2. Her family
Families can be complicated, full of great love and/or deep trauma and wounds. Understanding the complex relationship dynamics here will help both of you understand why the other reacts a certain way when times get tough. Understanding family wounds will help you have more compassion for each other.
3. Friends
Our friendship dynamics also reflect different facets of who we are. Observe what she says about her friends to better understand her expectations and limitations within all relationships.
4. Beauty treatments
Does she pursue beauty treatments out of self- love, or fear of not being enough? Allow your curiosity to take hold. You might consider getting some spa treatments together. We all want to look our best out of love for self.
5. Discuss things you have in common
You'd be surprised how many things you have in common. It doesn't have to be a hobby. It can be a way of relating to something, or a perspective or belief about the universe.

Finding gratitude in the least likely, uncomfortable, painful places is the mark of a strong, resilient person.

Allowing for vulnerability reveals your humanity and draws you both closer. She'll love you more for your imperfections.

25. Ask about the worst thing that happened to her today
This is a great way to practice empathy. You do NOT have to create an unsolicited solution for her. Refraining from trying to make her problem go away with "You should..." statements might be the greatest act of true masculinity you can muster! Not all problems are meant to be minimized with a band aid solution. Just be present for her and listen deeply until she asks for your help or advice.
26. Start conversations about serious life topics
No more dancing around serious life topics like a weenie. If she's ready, bite the bullet and dive in. You need to be on the same page about stuff like beliefs about raising children, abortion, political and social affiliations, and handling finances.

Seven is old enough to have vivid memories and young enough that peer pressure hadn't already set in. We develop some of the most untainted parts of our identity at age 7.

There are things we all love to talk about and those will be your greatest portals to deeper connection.
