Thought-Provoking Questions for Married Couples
After years of marriage, it is easy to stop asking big questions. These thought-provoking questions for married couples bring them back: how you have changed, what you have learned about love, what you still want from life and what legacy you hope to leave.
Choose a quiet evening and take one or two questions slowly. Listen, ask why, and share your own view. Play on one phone or start a room to answer separately and compare. All questions are depth level 2 or 3 and designed for honest, respectful conversation.
