It’s time to learn how to keep the spark alive! Kids are little anchors (said with affection) and the more you have, the harder it is to find a babysitter. Until your oldest is at an age where they can safely and responsibly babysit your younger children, you’ll have to find someone just so you can go out on a date without them in tow. This isn’t always doable. So it’s time to get creative with your at-home date ideas. Baby Gizmo is here to help!
Remember back when you were dating your significant other, at the beginning when everything was still new and fresh? Remember how fun it was to get to know him, learning cute or interesting facts about him and feeling so much closer to each other? There were fun questions to spark conversation. Well, just because you’re married now, and/or have been together for 10, 15, 25+ years, that doesn’t mean you have to stop dating or learning about him! You may feel like you know everything so you blank on what to talk about or ask him, so that’s where this date idea comes in.
Below you will find 50 fun questions to ask your spouse or take turns answering for each other. Yep, fun questions to ask your spouse about yourself. Or questions to ask your SO (significant other). So make up a fort in the living room, bust out the wine or sparkling cider (or hot chocolate, since it’s winter now), pop the popcorn and dive into the fun, serious, interesting and silly conversations these questions will trigger on your at-home date!

A variation of this date: Ask a question and then try to guess what your spouse will answer and have him do the same. See how well you think you really know each other!
This date idea only works to be fun AND strengthen your relationship if you’re willing to be totally honest with each other. Honesty will keep the spark alive! And if there are questions that spark an argument because of your differences, take a moment. Slow down, back up, and choose a funny question to diffuse the situation. We are trying to keep the spark alive and not cause an argument here. 🙂
We hoped you liked the fun questions to ask your significant other and we hope it will keep the spark alive. What other questions would you add to this list? Leave them in the comments so we can add to this list!
