Couples get to that point after being with each other for a while. Maybe some silence could be learned to be enjoyed. Past the dating period, there is a lot less talk because you already know each other, so I find things to do together. Like cooking together, we talk about what we want, go to the store together, do the cooking, then talk about how good it was and mistakes that he's done. Hiking is another, we bring the dog, backpack our food, have fun, striking up conversation with strangers. It just seems like it's more "doing" then just talking/communicating.
