Communication is so important in our relationships. These questions are often just springboards for deeper discussions, so if one question sparks a great conversation, stick with it.
These are great to do with dinner guests too. Sometimes I like to write questions on the back of place cards for everyone to answer as our meal is winding down.
We have a mason jar that we keep questions in on the table, and I print out the questions below on paper, cut them out, fold them, and put them in the jar. When those moments come to sit and chat a bit, each person picks a question from the jar, or we all answer the same question.
"Have only one conversation at a time. We learned this from Luci Swindoll. We went to her home for dinner one night. As we were sitting down to eat, she graciously said, 'I only have one rule, and that is that we have one—and only one—conversation at a time. We can talk about anything you like. I really don't care. But just one conversation.' This one rule transformed our dinner conversations."
