Date Night is a new series that will post on Thursday of each week. We want to encourage you to invest in your marriage with deep and meaningful conversation just like you did when you were dating.
Unfortunately for many married couples, once they say “I do,” they stop pursuing one another. It is very easy to quit going on dates, to stop discovering new things about one another, and forget that life together is an adventure.
There isn’t anything magical about the questions that we will offer each week. The real magic happens when two people take the time to invest in one another. Whether you use these questions or some discussion starters of your own, we hope that you will once again find the wonder of getting to know each other and using these conversations to shape your future together.
Conversation Starters
Let’s begin the year by looking back at the year that you have come through:
-
What are three things that you wanted to do this year personally, but did not get to do?
Why was this important for you?
What do you feel the obstacles or inhibiting factors were?
Is this something that remains important for you in the year to come?
-
What are three things that you wish you could have done as a couple, but did not get the chance to do?
Why was this important for you?
What do you feel the obstacles or inhibiting factors were?
Is this something that remains important for you in the year to come?
-
What are three difficult things that you had to overcome, either individually or as a couple?
-
What are three good things that you are thankful for that happened this past year?
Use these questions as a discussion starter. Take turns and each of you answer, listen, and give mutual feedback.
