It was in our fifth year of marriage, we hit a rut.
We stopped connecting. Sure, we were comfortable with each other. So comfortable that we stopped asking discovery questions. You know… the questions you ask when you’re dating, like what are your dreams, goals, desires in life?
Maybe you’re there too… so we thought it might be helpful to compile a list of questions that can spark that connecting conversation that gets you out of the rut. Asking open-ended questions is proven to build connection, a deeper friendship and greater intimacy.
