Talking about your future plans can also be a good idea. Share your dreams and goals with her, whether it's related to your career, travel, or personal development. She might have some valuable advice or just be really interested in what you hope to achieve. It can strengthen your bond as you let her into your world of aspirations.
You can talk about family memories, like the vacations you took together when you were a kid. It's always nice to reminisce about those fun times at the beach or in the mountains.
Talking about travel experiences is also a great option. If they've been to an interesting place, they can describe the local culture, food, and scenery. Another topic could be books or movies they like. It gives an insight into their tastes and interests. And of course, they can also share some positive aspects of their past marriage, like what they learned from it, without getting too deep into the negative parts.
Sports can be a great topic. A mom can talk about her favorite sports when she was young, or encourage her son to take up a sport he likes. It's a good way to promote a healthy lifestyle.
They can talk about school. The daughter can share her academic achievements, difficulties in classes or her future educational plans.
Another topic could be a movie she watched recently. She can discuss the story, the acting, and whether she would recommend it or not. This can then turn into a discussion about different movie genres and everyone's favorite movies.
Another topic could be future plans together. You can talk about where you would like to travel next, or if you want to start a family in the near future. It's a great way to build a shared vision for your life together.
Sharing professional development experiences is also appropriate. Like how you overcame a difficult project, or what new skills you've learned recently. It can inspire others and also show your growth as a professional.
Hobbies are appropriate as well. If you like painting, you can talk about your latest art project. On a company holiday, I met a colleague who was into photography, and we had a great conversation about different photography techniques and the beautiful places we had photographed.
You can talk about the scenery you saw during the car ride. For example, beautiful landscapes, interesting buildings, or unique natural formations.
Future plans are great topics. You can talk about where you want to live in the future, whether it's a big city or a small town by the sea. You can also discuss career goals and how you can support each other in achieving them.
One great topic is the places you both want to visit in the future. You can plan future vacations, talk about different cultures you'd like to experience, and make a bucket list together.
