The need to gather information is especially important after the owner has been away for a while or is getting ready to leave; these are cucial moments for finding out where the relationship stands.
Q) Can I say "these are cucial moments" to find out where the relationship stands, instead of "for finding out where the relationship stands" in the last sentence?
