Questions That Can Bring You Closer

Often, couples long to come closer to one another, to know one another intimately and intrinsically, but often they do not know the ways to bring one another closer together. Words often fail to relay this. Direct confrontation by way of conversations leaves dangling threads that accomplish little of your goals.

But the truth--the beautiful truth--is that grand unification between you and your lover can be achieved not through forceful confrontation and tears, but through the simple nothing questions. Through simple questions--light follies, really--you can grow closer to your lover than ever before.
