In this fun episode, we share creative and meaningful conversation starters to help you reconnect with your spouse, especially if you feel like you’ve run out of things to say. Whether you’re on a date night, taking a walk, or driving somewhere together, these questions will help you laugh, learn, and rediscover each other.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why it’s normal for couples to occasionally run out of things to say
• How conversation starters can spark fun, meaningful connection
• A mix of lighthearted and relationship-focused questions to ask your spouse
• How laughter and curiosity keep your marriage conversations fresh

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Playful conversation matters. Asking silly, imaginative questions helps you reconnect through fun and laughter.
2. Curiosity strengthens connection. When you keep learning about each other, you keep growing together.
3. Intentionality counts. Don’t wait for deep conversation to “just happen.” Plan for it by bringing a few questions along on your next date.
