41 Questions To Ask Your Spouse Right Now

My husband and I are complete opposites when it comes to conversation.

I am an external processor and love to talk out loud. My husband is an internal processor and figures out almost everything in his head. This means that sometimes, in marriage, I feel like our conversations are one-sided. More accurately, I feel like he doesn’t want to share with me, when in reality he knows what is and what is not worth sharing out loud.

Have you ever felt like that? If so, then, like my spouse, your spouse needs a little prompting.

I have found that if I ask my husband pointed and direct questions he is happy to share and I feel like we are connecting on a deeper level. Here are 41 Connecting Questions to ask your spouse right now to help facilitate that deeper conversation that you’re looking for:

  1. What is your idea of a romantic night with me?

  2. What are you currently afraid of?

  3. How can I help you face your fears?

  4. Is our marriage on track to still be in love in 10, 15, 20 years? If not, what can we do differently now to set us up to have (and keep) our happily ever after?

  5. Do you believe our children have and feel security based on our marriage?

  6. When you look at me do you see a spouse who deeply loves you? Why or why not?

  7. Is there anything you have asked me to do that I have neglected?

  8. Stop Scrolling!
