We would have dialogue right after a long day of work and both of us would lose focus and steam quickly. Just changing the time we talked about things (work, dreams, family, etc) helped us tremendously. Now we catch up later in the evening once we’ve had time to chill out for a little bit. Definitely better discussion and attention given.
