We published "30 Questions to Ask Your Kid Instead of “How Was Your Day?" The response was incredible. Turns out, millions of people had the same problem. It was amazing to hear how parents, aunts, uncles, teachers, mentors, and grandparents turned silent car rides or eat-and-run dinners into quality chat-fests with those questions.What we didn’t expect were the many requests for questions to get spouses talking.To be fair, I could do a better job of that in my relationship. After twelve years and two kids, sometimes all we can come up with post bedtime routine is, "You good? I'm good. Fire up the Netflix."Allegedly it only takes 36 questions to fall in love with anyone, but once you're there, well, it takes maintenance.
