101 Conversation Starters for Couples Kindle Edition

Have you ever looked around you when you are eating in a restaurant and your eyes rested on a couple who are eating and they are not conversing with each other at all? If you are one of these couples or not, this is a great book! I bought the kindle version and when the conversation starts to wain a bit I pull out my phone and access this book and bring out a couple of questions. At the beginning my husband did not like it but as he would think of the questions, it would bring back memories that he had long ago forgotten. What I really love is how one question can trigger a story and our conversation will last long after we left the restaurant. We have been married for 11 yrs and if you think you know everything about your spouse this is a great book to learn something new about your spouse that you never knew. :)

I like this book, but it literally has the most random conversation starters in it. For example, some questions are, "Would you rather be a dinosaur or bird?" or "Tell me who your favorite teacher was and why." (I have no clue if these are actual questions, I'm just trying to pull up some examples.) This book is full of simple questions that could come from a third grade classroom. I do give points for the fact that this book shows that not all conversations have to be serious. Adults can still have fun with each other talking about nonsense and pointless things. Even though you could at any time, you would never think about these questions and conversations to bring up to your partner.

I really like MOST of the conversation starters, but could do without the very obvious religious ones. BUT- I knew that going into getting this book and was able to find enough things to spark conversation from this book. I also love that it’s small enough to keep in my bag.

My boyfriend and I are going strong past the one year marker. I bought this when we wanted to get to know each other better to strengthen our already strong relationship.I read a review from someone in a 20+ year relationship and I can understand how it didn't do much at that point because of the already shared experiences and opportunities for conversation. Instead, we are a 20-something couple still learning each other.For us, this is a really great book. We recently helped with his brother's wedding and they had a bride/groom mad libs which was fun for us to play with-but we wanted more. This book fit the bill.I highly recommend this book for couple that mutually wants to strengthen the relationship. It seems silly at times but really spurs great conversation with laughter and tears.

This would have been great if it had pronounced anywhere that this is a book for Christians. Why not just take the bible quotes out before the questions and then just ask the questions as-is? They are stand alone questions; why have to lead up to one by quoting scripture first? I saw nothing on the reviews or on the description that would have said this was a religious book or I would not have purchased it. Seriously, do this instead:On a road trip, ask your spouse to list his/her favorite tree and least favorite tree; his/her favorite breakfast dish and least favorite breakfast dish; his/her favorite soap smell and least favorite soap smell; etc. We did this once with all kinds of things (favorite/least favorite car color, road trip experience, Christmas gift received) and it was surprising just how much we learned about each other. We took turns and it was lots of fun. This book was a waste of money in comparison. At least for a heathen like myself.

My husband and I got this at a Five Love Languages marriage conference. It’s a cute little book with lots of random questions. Good for conversation. I ordered two more for Christmas gifts for friends.

These "conversation starters" are more "small talk" that you'd have when just starting to date someone rather than with someone you have an established relationship. I enjoy Gary Chapman's other books (Love Languages) but this one sort of falls flat. The questions don't help me gain a better understanding of my partner. I just learn "fact" that I was already aware of.If you have issues with simply opening the doors of communication with your partner, this would likely be a good book for you. But for those who have stable relationships with pretty solid communication, you may find this tool rather disappointing.

I got this book for my husband and I to use at the dinner table and on date night. This book is great! This book fosters meaningful conversation and helps build intimacy. There are a variety of questions throughout the book....my only issue with this book is that religion and the Bible are incorporated into it.Examples of this would be "Name the Old Testament event that you wish you could have witnessed. Name the New Testament event (in addition to the resurrection) that you wish you could have witnessed" and "Acts 2:42-47 describes a close, caring community. In what setting have you had the greatest experience of genuine fellowship?". Questions like these aren't relevant to all couples (My husband and I are both atheists) like the other questions/conversation topics present in the book are. Despite the religious incorporation, though, I highly recommend this book!
