![]() When my husband and I sat down with this book, we felt "put on the spot" with some of the prompts and would have liked time to contemplate before giving a response. While I understand the point of the book is for couples to talk together, I think it would work better if each person answered the questions in writing on their own and then came together to discuss. What I don't like is how there are only a few lines for each person to respond to the prompt. While the cover states there are 400 questions in this book, "prompts" is a better descriptor, as there are some true/false statements and fill in the blanks. The graphics are cute, and the introduction is straightforward and successful in explaining how to use the book. I love the idea of this book: questions for couples to ask and discuss, to connect and get to know each other better. I received a complimentary copy of this book from Callisto Publishers/Rockridge Press and was under no obligation to post a review. Go into it with an open heart and no preconceived ideas of what to expect and I think you will be surprised what develops! A unique resource that I think most people would welcome. This would be great sitting at the dinner table, riding in the car, or even laying in bed together. Also, I think this is one of those things where you may get short or indifferent answers sometimes, but then just the right question will come along and the floodgates of sharing will open up. ![]() My husband is not a big sharer, so I think this book is not intimidating for anyone that doesn't like to talk very much. ![]() They are not in any specific order, so it could be an, open and point situation that guides what question/prompt you will answer next. If a question is not for you, or you need more time to think about it, you can always move on to another question. I like that the questions are general and can be used for newlyweds or couples celebrating 50 years together.

I wish to say the evening ended getting ‘hot’ but I’m just glad it’s not ‘heated’. ![]() See how this talk gets pretty spectacularly circular? On the positive side, we have started to talk about it (I guess my reproductive system can handle a few months of waiting) and ended the evening amicably.
