Communication at an intimate level is essential for a healthy and growing relationship. While many couples appreciate the importance of learning "how" to communicate more effectively, they should also recognize the importance of "what" and "how often" they are communicating. Getting to know your spouse doesn't stop once you say, "I do." When you take the time to continually learn about your spouse's dreams, experiences, fears, anxieties, hopes, struggles, passions and goals, you will find that your relationship with your spouse will begin to grow and strengthen.

Couch Time is about taking at least 15 uninterrupted minutes at least once a week to discuss a Couch Time question, although we encourage couples to strive for more regular Couch Time. There are 52 questions to get you through one year.  These questions are inspired by The Seven Bridges and are designed to guide couples in their marriage journey. We believe that you will experience a greater level of intimacy within one year by just having a little Couch Time!

Helpful Hints:

Be sure to ask further questions to really understand and appreciate your spouse's answers. The goal is to create a dialogue and not just a single question and response. Find out why their answer is so important to them, what makes them feel a particular way and how it relates to your marriage and family.

The Couch Time questions are presented in no particular order, although we encourage couples to start with some of the less challenging questions.
