About this listen
Transform your relationship from ordinary to more deeply connected than ever before. This conversation-starters audiobook for couples will guide you on the journey!
Don't marry a stranger! With the overall divorce rate hovering around 50 percent, there is no doubt that living together is difficult. These Christian relationship questions are for couples who want to defy the odds by building a strong foundation before marriage. These creative conversation starters will help you foster a sense of intimacy (or into-me-see) by exploring your partner's inner world. Get ready to dive deep without the R-rated questions, questions that cause you to blush, or conversation starters that stay at a surface level. This aim of this Christian relationship audiobook is to be both helpful and wholesome.
In addition to creative conversation starters, you will also discover:
- The seven destructive habits of miserable couples.
- The seven joyful habits of happy couples.
- The seven most important habits for after you tie the knot.
- Discover these habits before marriage so your relationship can thrive.
Conversation starters for couples include:
- After marriage, what spiritual activities will you participate in as a couple?
- How do you think that married life will differ from your single life?
- If you could travel back in time and relive a part of your relationship, what would it be? What things would you do differently, and what would you keep the same?
- Imaging a well-known Hollywood producer wants to make a movie about your relationship, and you get to choose the actors. Whom would you select to star as you and your partner? Why?
Before marriage, my wife, Jenny, and I went through a number of questions-for-couples books. We learned about each other and had a blast in the process. Today, we are excited to continue the conversation with this new conversation-starters audiobook. These questions for couples are perfect to ask:
- Over morning coffee
- On road trips
- During dinner dates
- At summer bonfires
- While on a beachside stroll
- Any time there is a lull in the conversation
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
