Questions

My husband and I had a short courtship and engagement.  We went on our first date and were married eight weeks later.  While this isn't the course for most couples, it worked for us and we couldn't be happier.  However, because of this whirlwind relationship, we didn't have the time to do things that 'normal' couples do.  (Did I mention that our relationship was also long-distance?)  However, after we got married, I noticed that there were a lot of posts on social media containing questions to ask your boyfriend/girlfriend before getting married - just to make sure they were an okay match.  One night, I saw one and clicked on it.  I started asking Jeff the questions, to be funny, but it ended up turning into a great date night.  We were poor college students (still are) and as newlyweds, it was a great way to find out more about each other that we may not have discovered until later in our marriage.

Here are a few different websites that I found that have a bunch of questions:

This one is for married folks:

Relationship Reconnection:  I'm a huge advocate for good communication and many researchers tell us that 'communication is key.'  I agree with that and I think these questions encourage that communication and opening up that is crucial in any relationship.  One thing that these questions will allow you to do is open up to one another.  You'll share experiences and some deep, personal feelings.  This provides an excellent way for you and your spouse to be connected.  Perhaps it will connect you on a level that you haven't connected before.

Happy dating!
