‘The Forever Conversation’

In a relationship for 2 or more years

If you’re in a relationship and have been so for around 2 years or more, The Forever conversation is a conversation which takes stock of where you’re at and what the future looks like for you as a couple.

Until now, you may not have thought about the long-term future with the person you’re in a relationship with or perhaps you’ve always brushed the possibility of the future aside since everything seems fine so why rock the boat?

However, after two to three years of serious dating, by talking openly and honestly with our partner, it is very possible to make some decisions about the future.

What’s the big fuss you might ask? Well, having a ‘Forever Conversation’ could result in some exciting plans about your forever which will remove ambiguity and bring security like you’ve never known before and without the ‘Forever Conversation’, there’s a risk that you could continue for more years to come in an unpromising relationship that has no future.

We’ve come up with some questions for you and your partner to consider and to help you with your ‘Forever Conversation’.

Q1

Q2
