Talking is good for us, we know this. But did you know it can also boost our emotional and mental health? It’s a double whammy. Good conversation keeps us happy and healthy.

Not that you need an excuse to whip out our Talking Point Cards but below are just three reasons why having conversations with purpose are genuinely good for you:

1. You’ll never be stuck for something to say

We get it. We know how it is. You’re living under the same roof but you don’t talk anymore. It’s been a long time since you spent time getting to know each other all over again. Families can find it tricky to engage and couples that have passed through the dating years don’t know how to start up again. Our cards help break down that initial awkwardness in a fun and relaxing way.

See what some of our customers have said about Talking Point Cards:

‘Some of the questions were quick and straightforward, while others were more thought provoking. It gave us something different to talk about outside the typical operational 'how was your day' type of-conversations.’

‘We have 3 boys: 5, 14, and 17 and, believe it or not, these cards work perfectly to get conversation flowing among all of us. The first card was pulled and I started learning things about my children that I didn't know. The most surprising thing was that my teenagers ENJOY this.’

2. Unplug to unwind

As human beings we are biologically engineered to thrive on face to face interaction. When our friends say, ‘it’s good to see you’, it stimulates waves of positive emotions in us. Social Media asks us all to be the best version of ourselves; happy smiles, attractive photographs, witty soundbites, when really humans are a lot more layered and complicated. We are not one thing. And a social life online is not a happy one. Real friendships with love and intimacy come about from loving all the difficult parts too. A regular social ritual, a game together in our often chaotic lives provides the deep happiness and enjoyment that we so badly crave.

3. Get friendly

Play is an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults. It’s about forgetting work and commitments and being social in a fun and creative way. Sharing laughs with friends fosters empathy, compassion, trust and intimacy. All the cornerstones of a lasting, strong friendship. Talking together in a relaxing setting can help everyone loosen up in stressful situations, break the ice with strangers and even make new friends.

Try to clear your schedule for fun. Host a regular Talking Point Cards night for family and friends. No phones allowed on the table, watch the good times blossom and the group bond. And remember, all that fun is good for you!

Is there anyone who hasn’t wished they could communicate better?

How much better would life be if you had a better relationship with your spouse? With your children? With your parents? With your friends?

The whole idea behind Talking Point Cards is to strengthen real relationships in a digital world. We hate that our time and attention is increasingly consumed by technology which is replacing real, genuine human relationships.

Your family connections and friendships shouldn’t suffer because TV, social media and online games are replacing our face-to-facetime! That’s why our founder, Ben, originally created Talking Point Cards.

One Mission, A Thousand Voices

And we’re not alone. Our Talking Point Cards were so successful in growing intimacy, deepening trust, removing barriers and opening doors in relationships that people started noticing. We received stories from tens of thousands of customers about how these simple questions breathed new life into their marriages, families and lives!

From that feedback we noticed that communication was just one area which was suffering from the all-consuming impact of technology. So, we expanded our focus to include physical activity, screen-free entertainment, household management, self-care and mental health products - all to get people of all ages away from the screen and living their happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling life possible.

Our flagship conversation starters each have 200 professionally created questions targeted to a specific relationship, and come in an attractively durable box that fits in a bag or suitcase.

The Talking Point Cards come in a variety of purpose-designed sets. Some of our best sellers: Couples Edition, to enhance and deepen the relationship with your spouse or partner. Family Edition, to get everyone talking comfortably and openly no matter their age. Generations Edition, to help learn your parent’s (or grandparent’s) life stories. Christian Edition, to help you begin real, comfortable discussions about your faith.

Talking Point Cards started in 2015 when founder Ben Jones asked the question: “What is happening to our relationships?”

It seemed that our time was increasingly consumed by technology which had replaced real, genuine human relationships.

His solution to this problem was to reclaim family time from TV, Social Media & Online Games with resources so engaging& useful that everyone would want to unplug to enjoy some quality time& real conversation with friends & family. This is where the idea for Talking Point Cards was born.

The Real-Life Revolution

As Talking Point Cards grew, we noticed that communication was just one area which was suffering from the all-consuming impact of technology.

In response to our customer feedback, we expanded our focus to include physical activity, screen-free entertainment, household management, self-care and mental health products - all to get people of all ages away from the screen and living their happiest, healthiest, most fulfilling life possible.

Our goal is to build a Real-Life Revolution; a worldwide community to offer positive support and products about promoting real relationships and healthy lifestyles in a digital world! This mission pervades everything we do.
