"This question should be used with abundance in every context to keep a pulse on your partner's thoughts and emotions and to keep them engaged and feeling valued," says Margaux Cassuto, founder of ThreeMatches.com. "For example, 'It's a beautiful day to enjoy a run by the beach, what do you think?' 'I was really upset by that news story. What do you think?' It promotes a constant and honest dialogue and that in turn fosters a sense of closeness."
