With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I thought it’d be fun to come up with list of questions to ask your spouse. Personally, I love lists like this. Every time my husband and I go through a Q&A together, we learn something new about each other.

I then like to safeguard this new snippet of information (I usually write it down in a note on my iPhone.) Then, when it’s my husbands birthday, our anniversary, or just an occasion where I want to surprise him, I’ll pull up my note and use what I’ve written down as inspiration.)

For example, say I learned that my husband preferred the mountains over the beach. I might surprise him with a weekend getaway to the Smokey Mountains for our anniversary.

I challenge you to do the same! Have fun going through this list with your spouse, learning something new about each other then using that information to strengthen your relationship.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
