This review is from: Love Talks for Couples: 101 Questions to Stimulate Interaction with Your Spouse (Lovetalks Flip Books) (Spiral-bound)

This book has a ton of questions to ask your partner, and for each of you to answer. Some of them are very helpful and insightful, showing you a new side to your partner or giving you a glimpse of things you never knew about them before, which opens up new topics of discussion. Some are more simply entertaining or give you something new that you didn't know about your partner, but it's not anything huge. Then there are some questions that seem just plain silly. The silly questions (The circus act that most reminds me of my job is...) make it hard to take the rest of the book seriously, especially if your partner isn't very tolerant of silliness (or as they refer to it "stupidity").

I think the best use for this book, would be for a single person to have and flip through, grabbing a few quick questions to keep in mind to ask their current date. For couples in a long term relationship, there may be a few useful questions, but not many.

I have met Gary Chapman, and he signed the books I ordered here on Amazon, one was a gift to my husband who is deployed overseas. I ordered Love Talks, to send my husband daily emails with the Questions to continue to stimulate eachother being seperate. This is a great tool to stay connected with your loved one. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great at stimulating conversation!, June 30, 2011

Questions vary - some are faith based, some are based on current events (what happened today), some are based on historical events (things that happened earlier in your life). Great questions, and you can use them any way you like. We randomly picked one each day, and had a lot of fun discovering new things about each other...even after 11 years of marriage!
