Deliberately Defy Relational Drift

Thoughtfully crafted. Artfully designed. Dynamically unique.

A simple tool for creative, productive dialogue

Casually brought on a date and placed on the table, the craftsman leather pouch, tactilely thick cards, and thoughtfully worded questions invite you and your partner into a playfully engaged conversation that deepens your connection.

48 question cards - 4 categories

Road Trips. Date nights. End of the day sofa time.

our WHY

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.

our DIFFERENCE

Rather than "one time" questions, Defy Drift cards are categorized to stimulate up-to-date creative, productive dialogue:

PLAY- easy "what if" questions that stem playful, creative big picture dialogue that stirs new ideas
CONNECT- emotionally curious dialogue about what is most relevant to each of you in life right now
PURSUE- questions to encourage you to discuss the quality of romance and intimacy in your relationship.
VISION- these are forward-focused questions to create a new sense of intentionality around values, goals, and big decisions.

Our Story

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.
