Here's a fact about marriage: Sometimes you just run out of things to say.
As I've mentioned before, when Cliff and I swear off talking about the kids, and then find we don't have any other pressing conversational topics, we take turns asking each other questions. I almost always learn something new: sometimes about Cliff, sometimes about myself.
Here are three new questions to try out:
1. What nightmares did you have as a kid? Have you had any recurring nightmares recently?
2. Without thinking to much, what are your three favorite movies (or books)? Can you find a common theme?
(This question comes from a blog by Mary DeMuth. As an example, she lists her three favorite movies as Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and To Kill a Mockingbird. The common thread? Outcasts who overcome their past to change the world.)
3. Name three areas of personal growth you've seen in your spouse recently.
