My husband and I have always have a little bit of difficulty talking easily together. We are interested in different things and although he is very intelligent, his thoughts don't make the path from brain to mouth very easily. In spite of this, we really love each other and have worked hard to make a good relationship. Lately, though, we've been having some problems and this is one problem area. I'm a stay-at-home Mom without a lot of social contacts. He is an engineer who likes his job, but I find the details of the job itself (the parts they make, etc.) kind of boring. Anyway, we need to find a way to stimulate more conversation between us, and not conversation about the kids (or the house, preferably). I'm looking for ideas. Thanks.
Oh, also, we've been married for nine years and dated for three before that, so we have kind of run out of personal history kinds of topics.
