Questions for Married Couples: 40 Everyday Prompts

Marriage creates a large shared history, but busy routines can make the newest conversation only about schedules and errands. These questions for married couples are meant to fit into real life: five prompts after dinner, one question on a walk, or a short game when you want to notice something beyond the next task.

How to use these questions

Choose five prompts, take turns answering, and let either person pass. If an answer becomes a story, stop the list and follow it. You can also write answers privately and reveal them together for a guessing game.
