Do you find that engaging in substantive conversation is important to your well-being? === I do
What effect do you believe it has on your relationships? === It is a major aspect of our regular girls' night out
Do you and your spouse or partner have enough meaningful conversations? === when he's driving and I'm navigating, yes. And SOMETIMES at other times. But it's not a daily thing... Oddly enough, we email each other more than we talk! LOL

Do you find that engaging in substantive conversation is important to your well-being? What effect do you believe it has on your relationships?
Yes. These conversations allow one to connect to others in a deeper way by getting to know them beyond superficialities and allowing them some insight into who we are, what makes us tick.
Do you and your spouse or partner have enough meaningful conversations?
No spouse or SO right now, but yes we had them. I have them with my friends.
My husband and I communicate a great deal via text messages. His job entails a lot of meetings, so phone calls aren't always an option but he can usually answer a quick text message. We don't have substantive conversation on a daily basis either. I think occasionally is often enough; it's couples who *never* have meaningful conversation that might run into trouble.

Yes, I agree completely. Do you think this can happen with online relationships, or only with those we know in person?

Deep conversations are deep conversations, whether it's done online, through snail mail, fax, phone conversations or face-to-face.
How much one opens up to another person is not dependent on the physical proximity, but on affinity.
I both appreciate and share your viewpoint!

I was thinking about this recently.
Sometimes I have a friend I wish would talk more.
On the other hand they are a really good listener.
I was upset today and without even saying anything they gave me a hug.
They knew without any words being exchanged.
