Team Us: A Christian Marriage Podcast

Fun Conversation Starters for Couples in a Rut


Listen Later

In this fun episode, we share creative and meaningful conversation starters to help you reconnect with your spouse, especially if you feel like you’ve run out of things to say. Whether you’re on a date night, taking a walk, or driving somewhere together, these questions will help you laugh, learn, and rediscover each other.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why it’s normal for couples to occasionally run out of things to say
  • How conversation starters can spark fun, meaningful connection
  • A mix of lighthearted and relationship-focused questions to ask your spouse
  • How laughter and curiosity keep your marriage conversations fresh

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Playful conversation matters. Asking silly, imaginative questions helps you reconnect through fun and laughter.
  2. Curiosity strengthens connection. When you keep learning about each other, you keep growing together.
  3. Intentionality counts. Don’t wait for deep conversation to “just happen.” Plan for it by bringing a few questions along on your next date.

CONVERSATION STARTERS WE ANSWER

  • If you could have any job, whether serious or silly, and money was not a factor, what would it be?
  • If time travel existed, when and where would you like to visit first?
  • Who are three famous people, dead or alive, you would want to have lunch with?
  • If you could only listen to two albums for the rest of your life, which ones would you choose, and why?
  • What do you think our biggest strength as a couple is? What about our biggest weakness?
  • What’s a "little thing" in our relationship that you really love?
  • If our life was a reality TV series, what do you think would be the most appropriate title?
  • What is one date we have not done you would like to do?

US TIME CHALLENGE

Print out a list of conversation starters and take them with you on your next date night, walk, or long drive. Make it fun by taking turns picking questions, and let the conversation go wherever it leads. You might just discover something new about each other!
