Ideas For Getting a Conversation Started

In dating or marriage, what do you really know about your partner? You want to know more than, “how was your day” or, “ what do you think of the weather”. You want to be intimate and know the person better than anyone else. Simply, you need to ask them questions and talk about everything. When you ask your significant other questions yourself there is some pressure on you, as well as embarrassment for actually asking some questions. A conversational book, like “questions to muse you” by dean derkson, shifts the blame for the question onto the author of the book and leaves you free to simply ponder the answers.

What do you depend on your spouse to do for you?
What impressed you most when you first met your spouse?
What emotion do you want you spouse to show more of?
What food best describes your spouse?
How much emotional baggage did your parents give you?
What part of your best friends character would you like to change?
Where would you take a gorilla on a date?
Who would you like to be stuck in an elevator with for three hours?
If cannibals caught you, how would you like to be cooked?

The book is stuffed with 1004 questions divided into six sections that await your answers.

Choice: from whose lips would you like to drink your fill of wine?
Past: have you broken any bones (not necessarily your own)?
Present: what sin are you most familiar with?
Possible: if they were coming for you, where would you hide?
Spouse: what food best describes your spouse?
Opinion: beside what entry in the dictionary would you find your picture?
