Road Trips. Date nights.
Conversation Cards for PARENTS - 48 questions cards - 2 categories
So often, when couples actually have time to really talk, time is easily spent reporting the latest details of the calendar and chatting about work, in-laws, or kids.
What was once an energetic relationship could end up feeling more like conversational numbness.
We passionately created a tool to bring back relational closeness through deeper, more real conversations. Pursuing a deeper knowing of your spouse will feel purposeful and will lead to growth, development, and maturity.
Rather than "one time" questions, Defy Drift cards are categorized to stimulate up-to-date creative, productive dialogue:
This card deck includes TWO categories:
COLLABORATE - used between MOM and DAD to better understand each other's parenting practices and deepen the commitment to parenting together
SHAPE - used between PARENT and CHILD to deepen understanding of child's point of view and gain influence through understanding and wisdom
On long road trips from Atlanta to Texas to visit family over the last ten years, my husband and I would begin the car ride chatting and catching up on the current events of our household, kids activities, and work related topics. After two hours of quick conversations, the silence would eventually set in as we discovered we had come the end of our “catching up”…with 12 more hours left to go!
The silence was a signal we both took note of. After sitting in the awkward silence for a while, Todd turned to me and asked a witty, open ended question that reminded me of when we were dating. It reminded me of the chase, the back and forth obsession of getting to know someone who you are interested in. We wrote that question down and over the years kept adding to the list of questions. We called them “road trip conversations”.
We often talk about the questions to couples and finally decided to take the paper list from my car and make them available to the world. We are grateful for your support and we hope you find these questions a helpful tool in creating connection with your spouse.
