Thank you Netgalley for this free book in exchange for my honest review.

I went through about half of these with my partner and actually felt like we got something out of it despite us thinking we knew each other very well.
Definitely recommend if you're struggling with communication or just need to bring back a little spark to your relationship.

I think this book is helpful to get a dialogue going between you and your partner. Some reviews say it's too simple but I actually appreciate that. I also loved the bonus questions at the end, especially about parenting. Those questions in particular have sparked great conversation with my partner.

Although this is designed so that couples can explore one question a day, you might fund yourselves doing more than one. How well do you know yourself let alone each other? This is meant to stimulate discussion and, hopefully, bring couples together. Useful for both new couples and for those who have been together for years. Thanks to Netgalley fro the ARC. A good gift for newlyweds.

I loved the questions in this one and feel like this would be a great book for couples. I loved trying out these questions with my partner and feel like they were unique. Would definitely recommend this to couples to try and learn more and be closer.

Hubby and I have gone through a lot of emotional/relational changes over the course of our relationship. Between family drama driving a wedge between us and a new baby throwing us into uncharted territory, I can really appreciate the aim of this book to reconnect couples in a question a day type of way.

I got this book since it sounded hopeful for couples on the brink of divorce as the creators have developed their Marriage365 program.

The authors have created a 365 a day questions in order for couples to develop a curiosity in asking to foster connection. That said, the authors are correct about the importance of engaging with one another so couples can create a safe environment to explore their feelings.
However, I found the book's structure a bit simplistic and sometimes these questions
may not be sufficient to address deeper marital challenges. It conveys the personal experience of how the authors came up with their program, as the couple broke their pattern of disconnect simply by asking a question a day which is what this book offers— 365 days of questions, each focusing on different areas to ask one another, deep innocuous thought provoking questions.


I feel like this format might oversimplify issues which require more substantial frameworks for processing.

While the idea of daily engagement is key, I believe couples may need more than just open questions to navigate their challenges effectively and do not find this book addressing that.
I ended up checking on the background of these authors and went to their website. It appears they are not licensed therapists but actually more like a life coach. What I further discovered on the website is how they show a chart comparing savings of using their approach versus going to therapy which is a bit misleading. In their book they claim their approach is research-based, yet I struggled to find any concrete data backing their assertions. This raises questions about the validity of this approach. Additionally, their tendency to simplify complex issues by relying on open-ended questions to connect can be risky. With no disclaimer about how if there are deeper trauma or issues please seek professional help, I fear that people will do more damage with this approach.

I enjoyed this book and will recommend to friends and colleagues who want to reconnect with spouses/partners, especially empty nesters. It reminded me of those boxes of cards that you can buy that pose provocative questions about likes/dislikes/opinions/what would you scenarios, etc.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC!

This is fun and helpful and I enjoy using it!

This is a fun book full of all kinds of questions for couples. I like that they have a question for each day of the year and a lot of bonus months of themed questions towards the back of the book. They are great conversation starters for couples. It provides a fun activity to do together! At the start of the book they do a little bit of an introduction and give you some tips and ideas on how to use the book & the questions. they also break it up into categories if you want to find questions for a certain category. I think this could make a fun gift for a couple!

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this eARC.

Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for this review copy

I thought the book was ok, and I can certainly see the direction it is going. Offering encouraging questions for couples to ask, the answers will really make them think and should help connect them on a deeper level.

This book is great and I do recommend getting the digital copy to be able to pull out on date nights or any time you have free moments to chat! The authors have a great Instagram account to follow also!

This book is a collection of thought provoking questions to share with your partner. It’s meant to be used a little bit everyday for a year, so I haven’t had time yet to check out every question. I did a quick peek and I’m very excited to do this with my partner and learn about each other!

Huge thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this read!

What a delightful and inspirational book for couples! It is surprisingly simple but has the potential to influence profound effects. A singular question for every day of the year. Categories included are boundaries, childhood, communication, conflict and repair, friendship and romance, holidays and celebrations, just for fun, money, mental health, self-discovery, sex and intimacy, roles, career, and household chores, and two bonus sections for parents and faith and spirituality. I really appreciate the intro and the background behind this. Yes, these are just questions, but there are responsible and safe ways to ask (and answer) questions and create a safe space for these conversations. If your partner won’t read or engage the questions, there’s great tips for that too. Wherever you are in your relationship, this is an excellent tool to start conversation, engage your partner, and foster intimacy and growth.
I received a copy from the publisher via NetGalley and all opinions expressed are solely my own, freely given.

Where are my quality time and words of affirmation love language girlies at? This book is for you. This is a great way to initiate deeper connections and intimacy with your partner. The variety of questions are broad and insightful from asking about your partner’s favorite childhood memories to their parents communicate styles. Get to know your partner on an intimate level and also meet their inner child.

This is a well thought out book with thought provoking questions. I’ve been married 23 years and these question are things that I do not know about my partner. After 23 years we’ve fallen into a “stale” period and this book is exactly what we need to get the convos going again. I enjoyed the intro with tips on how to listen, what words and phrases work best and overall guide on how to start talking. Love that the questions are arranged by day, topic and more. Highly recommend this book to anyone that wants to start the conversation for the first time or over again.

This is an excellent book for individuals to journal with on their own and/or to invite meaningful conversations with loved ones. Highly recommend!

Thanks to NetGalley, the authors and publisher for an advanced reading copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
