100 Date Night Questions For Married Couples To Love Deeper

When was the last time you had a truly meaningful conversation with your spouse? Not just talking about the kids or what to make for dinner, but really connecting? For many couples, date nights can become routine. A nice meal, maybe a movie, but not much real connection happening.

My husband and I discovered this firsthand. Our weekly date nights at our favorite bar in Texas weren't achieving what we hoped for. We'd sit with our phones out, making small talk or sometimes even arguing. Everything changed when we started bringing thoughtful questions to our dates. We grew closer and fell more in love with each passing week.

These questions may help you create space for honest, deep, and often funny conversations that bring you closer together. So here's our gift to you: a collection of our favorite date night questions.
