There is a famous experiment where a couple is asked to spend an hour asking each other questions and listening. In the end, they usually report having romantic feelings for one another even if they have never met before.

With that knowledge, what do you think an hour of questions would do to strengthen your marriage? The truth is it could do so much to enhance your relationship. Yet, sometimes the hardest part is just figuring out what questions to ask or good date conversation topics.

So, here’s a list of date night conversation starters that can help!

Sometimes asking emotional questions can be a little draining. Make sure to vary the questions with some of a more light-hearted nature.

Pennies

3. How many pennies do you think could fit into this room?

This is such a great question because it lets you see how their brain works. It also can just be a fun conversation to lighten the mood.

Potatoes

4. Would you rather feel like a potato or look like a potato?

Similarly, this question just leads to laughter. But in a weird profound way, it also helps you see if they would choose how they look over how they feel. Similar choices can come up in marriage.

Of course, to really get to know a person, you obviously need some questions about them.

Envy

7. Who do you envy the most?

Understanding someone’s jealousy helps you know what they want most out of life. Whether it is money or looks, it shows their priorities fast.

Spirituality

8. What are your central religious beliefs?

If you look at most churches, they have a statement of faith about their beliefs. For you and your spouse, it can be helpful to assess what their statement is. It can be cool to look at a specific spiritual belief and understand their exact feelings about that topic.
