Conversation Starters 🗣️

We like to give you something interesting to talk about on your date night. Here are some questions you can ask on your date that might lead to some meaningful conversation:

When you were a kid, do you remember what you liked to do?
What was one of your favorite books growing up?
What household chore do you think is the worst?

_{These questions come from the Gottman Card Decks app.}_{Download it free here}_.
