You are free to do so because there aren't any restrictions on how you and your partner may converse during a couples massage. Relaxing and meditating may be more beneficial for you. It all comes down to how well the pair can communicate in a calm and collected manner.
Note: If anything is excessively hot, too cold, unpleasant, or upsetting your "Zen" during your massage, you should tell the masseur right away.
What you want out of a massage is entirely up to you. This might be a one-time activity or something you do now and then, whether for a buddy or a midweek treat. However, if you are going to therapy because of discomfort or a muscle problem, therapists would often suggest that you attend at least once per month, or every two weeks, based on the intensity of your condition.
