You may be married for five years, or 15, but there are things your spouse does that still surprises you.

Why?

Well, contrary to popular opinion, people are not static beings. Attitudes and preferences change, new habits may be developed while old ones change, and both you and your spouse are growing every day!

So, if you think you know everything there is to know about your spouse, this discovery challenge is for you. Pick a date night (or morning), and get cosy with each other with these fun and meaningful questions.
