Do you ever run out of things to talk about with your spouse? After almost twenty-two years of marriage, we do! In this episode, we share some fun conversation starters we found online and model for you how to use them to connect with your spouse.

Conversation Starters We Answer
If you could have any job, whether serious or silly, and money was not a factor, what would it be?
If time travel existed, when and where would you like to visit first?
Who are three famous people, dead or alive, you would want to have lunch with?
If you could only listen to two albums for the rest of your life, which ones would you choose, and why?
What do you think our biggest strength as a couple is? What about our biggest weakness?
What’s a "little thing" in our relationship that you really love?
If our life was a reality TV series, what do you think would be the most appropriate title?
What is one date we have not done you would like to do?
