31 Brave Questions for Brave Couples

After 12 years of marriage and three children, there are days I look at my husband and wonder when the last time was that we had a real conversation.  Sometimes it feels like we're just going through the motions... getting kids to swim team, PTA meetings, clean up the kitchen, take out the trash... it sometimes makes the days come and go without notice.

And when we do get a quiet moment together, well what is there to talk about?  My brain's so exhausted and yet this is my most important relationship to invest in.  So where do we start?

Hopefully these 31 Brave Questions will give you a jumping off point for your marriage when you have time with your spouse.  So grab a cup of coffee, sit close to one another, and open up your hearts to each other.  Enjoy!
