Summary
The quality of your conversation comes from the quality of your questions! No matter how much you love each other, your conversations can feel routine if you're asking the same ol' questions (especially if you are a 'busy' couple or have been together for years).
Truthfully, it's natural to crave more emotional depth in your relationship, which comes from being able to ask more meaningful questions in a state of curiosity and intention. There is nothing 'wrong' with having this desire!
At times you might not know just what questions to ask, or you fear a negative response from them. So in this episode you'll hear 6 questions that you can ask to open up more emotional connection.
