Date Night Discussion Starters

Perhaps silence with an occasional blank stare over the dinner table describes your typical date night. If so, try using these discussion starters to take your conversations to an entirely new level of affirmation and intimacy.
The next time you go out on a dinner date with your spouse, agree to not talk about the typical topics such as the kids, work, or finances.

Another helpful hint is to avoid the hazard of interpreting your spouse’s comments through a negative filter.
