It’s your 564th date night. Your 798th long car drive. Your 1183rd time going out to dinner. In a long term relationship, or even in a newer one, sometimes you run out of things to talk about and the conversation starts to drag. What’s a modern couple to do?
When you’re tired of making the same old small talk, or you’d prefer not to sit in silence, consider using one of these conversation starters for couples. We’ve come up with a list that ranges from silly and fun to deep and thought-provoking. There are questions about relationships, your childhood, your likes and dislikes, and even your opinion on which direction the toilet paper roll should face (it clearly should be in the “under” position, by the way).
Don’t talk about the same things over and over. Don’t settle for typical questions and pat answers. With these 99 fun and unique conversation topics for couples, you’ll never run out of things to talk about! And you’ll discover a whole lot more about the person you love.
We’ve divided our couples conversation starters into three sections: the first focuses on general, fun questions for couples to answer together. These would be perfect to pull out during a long road trip or during your next dinner out.
The second section delves into romance and relationships. These topics are designed to spark discussion about the present and future of your relationship and to help you improve and grow in your love. Feel free to add your own questions as they come to you.
Finally, the third section presents deep questions for couples. These topics deal with matters of life, death, and spirituality. These can get a bit heavy, so you might want to tackle them one at a time, or reserve them for an at-home date night.![pTo5Lo97c[1]](https://i0.wp.com/tutoringyou.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/32d59-pto5lo97c1.jpg?resize=649%2C495&ssl=1)
