This is the "let’s keep it interesting" option. If you’re in the mood for some introspection without worrying about comparing answers, this one’s for you. Take turns answering different questions to keep the conversation fresh and engaging.

Steps:

• Spouse A picks a question and spills their guts (in the best possible way).
• Spouse B listens and responds with an encouraging comment, like, "I’m glad you shared that; it means a lot."
• Swap! Now it’s Spouse B’s turn to pick a question while Spouse A listens carefully to the words being spoken and the unspoken feelings or thoughts behind them.

Pro Tips:

• Use "I never thought of it that way before" moments to level up the convo.
• Ask follow-ups like, "Can you tell me more about what led you to that conclusion?" (Because who doesn’t love a good deep dive?)
• And don’t forget, "I can tell you’ve really thought about this." It’s basically the gold star of comments.
