Whether it's been a few weeks or decades, every couple can use some new fodder for date-night table talk. In fact, date nights are not just about the venue or the cuisine; they're an opportunity to delve into each other's thoughts, desires, and dreams.

As time passes, however, it's easy for conversation to fall into routines, revolving around daily tasks or surface-level updates. Adding a bit of novelty into the dialogue can reignite sparks and foster deeper emotional bonds.
