Have you ever sat in a restaurant and noticed a young couple sitting together talking, and talking, and talking? And then you notice that you and your spouse can’t think of anything to talk about together except for the events of what the children did that day?

Do you need a “jump-start” as to some things you can discuss together that doesn’t involve the children or problems? Would you like some things to discuss that will put a positive spin on your time together so you feel more connected?

There are different communication starter resources out there that can help you with that. Actually my husband Steve and I have used some of these tools and have agreed that some of our nicest conversation times have been when we’ve used these kinds of tools. Not all of us are as creative in thinking about different things to talk about (other than talking about the children and work and problems).

So, with that said, we want to provide a link to an article that will help you with conversation starters. You won’t (and shouldn’t) try to ask all of the questions at one sitting unless you want to have a marathon talking time together (which most couples wouldn’t enjoy). You can make a time to be together and agree to ask 3 or so questions to each other and save the rest for other times.

Don’t think about them as “questions” as if you were taking a test or something, but rather a discovery and connection time together. Even if you’ve been married 40 years or so, you’ll be amazed at some of the things you’ll find out about each other.

For the list of questions, click onto the link below (you may even want to make a copy of them so you can have them for the next several times you spend this kind of time together):
