35 questions to ask your spouse...

Zach and I were drawn to this show when it started last fall, because we were new parents as well.  Course, as the season wore on, in most of the episodes, we say to each other, "where is the baby?"  How does that baby keep conveniently disappearing?

Well anyway, Zach and I were watching it last Thursday.  (Long story short.)  Christina Applegate's and Will Arnett's character eat dinner in front of the tv, tv breaks, they clean off the dining room table, sit down, and realize they have nothing to talk about.  Christina Applegate has a discussion with Maya Rudolph, decides to come up with some questions to ask at dinner, and of course she gets caught by her husband reading questions from a cue card.

But it's true!  My husband and I have been together 6 years and there are times, when we have time together, we have nothing to talk about!

I came across a list of 30 questions to ask your spouse on pinterest.  So I whipped it out on our date last Friday, and it actually carried us through our night.
