30 Questions to Ask Your Spouse on Date Night
When you are living life at the speed of life, you often get disconnected from the people you love the most.
And when you are in a relationship, building a life together, it can get easy to focus conversations on the basics and to-do's.
But it is in the mundane conversations that disconnect can actually develop. We don't share about our dreams, our interests, what excites us or scares us.
There was a season, just before the pandemic, where my husband and I barely talked about things other than our kids, work or finances. At first it was because we had too much to do and waaayyyyy too little time together.
But then, even when we started to have more time to talk and hang out, we became complacent with communicating just the bare minimum. Our talks together were fact based and no longer deep, meaningful conversations.
So how did we reconnect again? We had to re-learn how to ask each other questions. We had to figure out new topics to talk about, and find out which ones we liked talking about now that our lives had changed.
We used a bunch of different resources, but one of my favorites was having a list of random questions to ask while we were out on date night! I decided to gather a bunch of our favorite ones and share them with you here :)
So the next time you go on date night, keep these questions in your back pocket to steer your conversation away from work, finances, or family!
