Kick Off the Weekend with This Awesome Activity (for Two)

Kick Off Your Weekend with This Awesome Activity

Earlier this week, I came across an awesome marriage activity on a site I visit often and thought, “Our members would LOVE this!”

I immediately posted a note and asked the author, Lori Byerly, if she’d also share it with you.  I’m so happy she said yes!  I hope you enjoy this creative idea as much as I did.

Until Monday…make it a great weekend!

How would your husband answer this question?

Who is the most courageous person you have ever met?

Or this question?

What gift would you bring to your spouse in the hospital?

How would you answer it?

One important part of growing your marriage involves communicating often – big things, little things, silly things and important things too. It all adds up to knowing your spouse better and the knowing builds a sense of intimacy; a feeling of oneness.

So, in the interest of encouraging couples to build intimacy, I created a free download.

A Year of Questions for You and Your Spouse

There are 366 questions (an extra one for leap year).  Print out the .pdf (click on the link for it to open in your browser or “right click” on the link and save to your computer), cut the questions into strips, put them in a container (I used an almond jar from Costco) and each day pull out a question to share with your sweetie.

Have fun with it.  And it’s OK to change the question, add a question, create your own rules, and so on.  This is a fun way of exploring each other.  And while answering your questions, don’t forget to speak the truth in love and listen well.

Blessings, Lori <><

    I think these questions could also be used when writing a book about parents/grandparents… to give insight to a child/grandchild about that certain loved one that is no longer with them.

    Recently found this post on Pinterest, and have decided to share it with my husband as part of a Date Night gift for Christmas. We set a budget on gifts this year, and I’d really like to surprise him with this (especially as it’s a great price ;-) )
