They stopped to talk to each other = they stopped what they were doing (walking, maybe) and started talking to each other.
Walk, then talk.
They stopped talking to each other = they were talking to each other, then they stopped and (walked maybe).
Talk, then walk.
It's similar to: I must remember to lock the door. (Something I have to do in the future)
Remember, then lock
