15 Date Night Questions to Ask Your Spouse
December 12, 2016
Finally! You can pat yourself on the back because you actually planned a date night with your spouse.
You know it is one of those things you should do to keep the home fires burning, but life keeps getting in the way.
But what you are going to talk about for 90 minutes during dinner?
Because another rule of date night is to get to know each other.
To avoid talking about the kids, or the in-laws, or the bills.
What more could you possibly need to know about the person you sleep next to every night?
A common complaint I hear about couples who try to reconnect regularly is that it often feels stressful to come up with something to talk about.
At least something that is interesting.
A client shared an app with me called The And Game. It’s a strange name for an app, but there are a list of questions and some of them are really good. I’ve listed a few of them here to get you started.
I practiced these Date Night Questions myself
Just so you know…I practiced a few of these on my husband.
It actually WAS fun and interesting. Some of these questions are sure to spark some great discussion between you. I’d love to hear back from you! Let me know if you found these helpful and how it went with your spouse.
*Just a caveat: this app asks a lot of questions around porn. For many reasons, I do not advocate using porn with or without your spouse. Please read here for reasons to avoid porn.
