How do you express yourself verbally with your significant other or spouse?

Yes, we do. We talk stupid and mumble our words. I make up a language that no one understands. She talks in pig latin. But the funny thing is that lots of the conversations we have are pretty much telepathic. By that I mean, if I start a sentence, she basically knows what I'm going to say and finishes it. And the same in reverse. We like to act stupid, it's fun.

I never had a private language with my husband. We did know what each other was going to say and often we would say the same things or finish each other's sentences, me more then he. We did like he same movies, etc, but there was nothing out of the ordinary.

I have a friend who made up little words for her and her boyfriend to use that none of us would understand. He thought it was really silly, but went along with it anyway just to make it good for her because she thought that it was romantic. Turns out that she started to make up code names for us all so that she could talk about us behind our backs without us even knowing about it, so we were less than impressed about that to say the least. I'm not friends with her anymore and probably won't be because our friendship has been ruined forever now.

Hi bagarad Of course we do have a small vocabulary set between the two of us. It is kind of a mixture of hindi(our national and my home language), english,bengali(her native language) and oriya(the language of our state) and with that we have some punches of any letter that we feel like as prefixes... gets quite difficult for us too to understand...but that does add to fun... Unfortunately, we dont spend all the day together except on sundays and holidays and she is busy cleaning washing etc. I too assist her many a times and that is where we find our playground... say for instance while washing clothes(we do it manually as we believe there is more fun and it is healthy too) we would splash water on each other or the soap bubbles...

Awwh how cute and yes we do the same. I am Puerto Rican and fluent with Spanish and my boyfriend is Caucasian, German and french. We live together for almost 8 years and although neither one of us has learned each other language. We have picked up quite a few words from both and it is so funny when he and or I mix up the lingo. It makes for such funny and happy moments because sometimes it is completely the opposite of what we want to say yet we completely understand the point. But the burst of laughter at times is so much fun.

Yes, my husband and i do have some terminology for some words that only the two of us knows. Silly activities, oh my husband would always tickle me whenever i laugh out loud. That is according to him , to make me laugh louder because he said he likes hearing my laughter. However, sometimes i would eventually get angry at him, because he wouldn't stop tickling me until i roll out of bed laughing.

We have pet names for each other but other than that, no . Just plain English. What I love is that he Listens to me and i listen to him!

We use 'salad' languages at home. In the home front we speak our national language, our own dialect, chinese and English. But most of the time I speak our dialect with my husband when interacting which the children are not too familiar with as it is to them quite ancient and prefer to speak either English or chinese as they have adopted these foreign languages in school and are more comfortable using them.

when the children were young, we were very careful. the children are both young adults now, 21 and 19, so we are free to express silly words which sometimes they are wondering what they're all about.

I think it's charmong and sweet to be silly with each other. That is part of the closeness of couples. My hubby and I have silly habits not so much a language, just silly things we do that our grown girls would roll their eyes if they knew.

Every couple has their own special manner of communicating with each other.These are jargons that are exclusive for them. Its a unique way of putting the message across especially in times when they are intimate with each other, when they are very comfortable with each other.Sometimes very funny and really very silly but it helps in keeping their relationship. Verbal language is just one. There are also the non-verbal like working together, helping in a household chore, gardening, etc and in those moments they could communicate things that are only unique to each other.

we too have our own words that only the two of us knows.. it's silly but funny,, it's the things that we are enjoying when we have nothing to do or discuss seriously..and yes the right time for this silly this is on bed because it's the time when you get privacy.. :)

Life should be full of interesting, unfortunately, we don't know how to keep fresh,day after day, life become boring. I think your way of expressing yourself with your husband is a kind of life seasoning.It is cool. I'm a student, the way I speak to my father is special,too.we like siblings, and we have the same interests, like music, the novels.sometimes even my mom don't know what we are discussing, so she always complain to my father. Anyway, in my home, there is no generation gap.
