Common questions
Do both people answer?
Yes. Read the question, answer it yourself, then compare. One person quizzing the other is a different game.
What if we are not married?
Start in Tonight. The future questions can wait until you both want them.
What if we disagree?
That is the useful part. You found a place you are not the same, while you are still in a good mood.
How often should we do this?
One question. A stack of twenty turns a nice night into homework.
