What was a game changer in improving communication in your relationship?

My partner (31M) and I (31F) have been together for roughly a year and a half. We have really different communication styles and it sometimes it causes friction. I am so thankful that we are open to trying new ways of communicating, but we don’t have a ton of extra new idea in the chamber lol and of course not all of them that we try out work for us haha.

I am very curious, what was that game changer
thing you and your partner tried that positively improved your communication?

Hit me with anything and everything that worked for you and your partner. Funny ways, serious ones, the bizarre, weird advice someone told you that you thought wouldn’t work, sexy ways, the one thing you guys did that you swore you wouldn’t tell anyone irl about, conventional tactics, the unconventional, unbelievable ones, the tried and true, advice for newly weds, logical way, illogical, embarrassing things, the thing that you did that involved a prop, that thing y’all did that you’re lowkey embarrassed you tried and wouldn’t tell anyone about, literally anything that worked for your relationship! We are excited to try all suggestions 😂

~this is a throwaway account-

TLDR: my partner and I are curious what you introduced in your relationship that improved communication between you and your partner and we want to try suggestions for fun but also to find something that helps us!
