You’ve finally gotten out of the house, finally made your marriage a priority, miraculously chosen a restaurant, maybe found a sitter for the kids, and arranged your schedules to make time for each other. Now you sit in front of each other and wonder what to say that isn’t about finances, the kids, work, the in laws or politics. You know you’re not supposed to talk about those things, but what else is there to talk about!?!
Make this date night count by reconnecting on a deeper level. Take some time to ask each other questions that evoke emotion and connection. I’ve listed some questions below to get you started, and I bet you can think of even better ones once you open up your mind and heart. Before you start remember the goal of this is to learn more about each other and to grow closer together. It’s OK to disagree, in fact it’s quite normal to have different hopes and dreams, and its part of what makes you a great complimentary pair.
