Summary
Questions are powerful; assumptions are insidious. The start of a new relationship is packed with discovery. Couples revel in getting to know each other. Yet, over time, those questions wane as we settle into familiarity. Getting comfortable in a relationship is not a bad thing. However, the act of falling in love is a continuous process that takes consciousness. Tune in for a special Valentine’s Day episode as Monica and Michael discuss how to get to know your partner better through meaningful questions that are both fun and compelling.
“When you don’t ask questions, it allows for a lot of misunderstandings to occur. We can create stories in our head or create stories about our partner. There is always more to learn.” – Monica Berg

| 0:40.0 | As you are everyone. Yes, but especially. I don't know what I meant for. No, no, just that I think |
| 0:46.0 | that, well, let's wait for the questions. Well, let's see if our listeners can guess what we're |
| 0:52.8 | going to cover. So kids ask questions |
| 0:55.9 | constantly. Why do we say hang up the phone? I was going to remember how phones used to be |
| 1:01.7 | wall-mounted, I guess. Why does some people have wrinkles? Do monkeys eat anything but bananas? |
| 1:08.5 | How did God make us? Right? And the questions go on and on. |
| 1:11.5 | They're really creative and interesting. But by teen years, those questions taper off to almost none |

| 1:27.1 | we don't want to look stupid |
