15 Conversation Starters for Couples:

In my parents study there is a small book entitled "101 Conversation Starters for Couples". The book is written by marriage experts Gary Chapman & Ramon Presson. The book is filled with 101 questions to prompt meaningful, in-depth discussions and to affirm and encourage your spouse. In a day and age when more couples spend time looking at their phones, than engaging in meaningful conversation this book is helpful. I have included a few of the questions in the hopes that you would use these to begin communicating on a deeper, more intimate level with your spouse.

QUESTIONS:
1) What is something you collected as a child or teen?
2) What is one of your favorite memories that includes snow?
3) If you could win any competition in the world, what would it be?
4) What were some of your favorite toys as a child? What was your favorite candy?
5) What do you remember about learning to drive?
6) What are two of your all-time favorite movies (or books)?
7) What was your most/least favorite subject in school?
8) Name three jobs or careers you are definitely not suited for
9) What is something you thoroughly enjoyed doing as a child and have not done in years?
10) Complete this sentence: A time I felt I might be in physical danger was when...?
11) In what event would you most like to win an Olympic gold medal?
12) I think I would crack under the torture if I were forced to listen to only _______ music all day and could only eat _________ meals all day.
13) When you were growing up, where did your family go on vacations? Describe one of those vacations.
14) What high school or college course would you rather flee the country than be forced to take again?
15) Congratulations! Your boss just gave everyone a spring break. Where do you want to go?

I hope these questions help to facilitate meaningful, intimate discussion. If you enjoyed the questions check out the other 86 questions in "101 Conversation Starters for Couples" by Gary Chapman and Ramon Presson.
