My husband and I went through a rough patch. He was gone, had left, for 3 weeks, and we had divorce papers drawn. We were able to talk through some things, and when he came home, I ordered this set of cards. We realized that we'd been living for the last several months with clipped communication - through regular life struggles of childrearing, job stress, financial worries, our once very open communication had faltered.Each night when we get in bed, we'll take turn pulling cards and both of us answer the questions. Some cards more directly related to our current issues, we set aside to work on in our marriage counseling, but mostly, we just have a good time answering and sometimes learning things we never knew about each other, asking things we'd never thought to ask. Sometimes we'll just do a handful of cards, other nights we're having so much fun we end up doing 20. It's been a real benefit to our marriage.
