Questions for Married Couples

Are you looking for questions for married couples?

Here's a list of 25 questions that's not only great for married couples, but for anyone who's dating, engaged, or thinking about tying the knot.

It's a mix of fun and heavy topics for you to discuss and discover with your partner!

Michael Webb, a romance author who has appeared in over 500 radio and television shows explains, "One of the biggest reason marriages end in divorce is because couples fail to ask the big questions before they walk down the aisle."

Webb further elaborates, "If couples simply spent some time asking each other the questions that really matter, they'd greatly increase their chances of staying together."

Below is a tiny fraction of the questions found in Webb's 1000 Questions for Couples that you can try out with your loved one:

1) Is it ever appropriate for someone to express anger in a physical way? If so, when and how?

2) If a fire destroyed your home and all of your belongings, what would you do? If you could take out three things before the blaze, what would they be? (Assuming there is no one in the house at the time of the fire.)

3) When you are sick and feeling poorly, do you like to be alone or do you like to be pampered and have someone close to your side most of the time?

4) What one skill do you wish you had learned but haven't yet (Play the piano? Learn a foreign language? Fly a plane? Etc.)?
