Questions In A Box 4+

I recently observed that a lot of my time in conversation with friends and family tends to revolve around grousing about work and talking about daily trivialities. A pessimistic mood would descend, and I felt worse afterward when I realized our precious time together had been wasted in a negative loop.

I downloaded this app, and it felt cheesy at first to pull it out, but we’ve had some of the best conversations of our lives because of these simple questions. It doesn’t feel cheesy anymore to make the choice to steer our conversation to happier, more fulfilling topics that foster greater connection.

The most precious and memorable conversation arose from the question, “What is a small act of kindness you will always remember?” We talked for two hours at cafe tables on the sidewalk and felt joyful and deeply connected to one another as we shared precious memories that healed our hearts.

Thank you for this app. It’s one of just a few that has actually changed my life.

I am on our church counseling team, and have begun integrating this app as part of the weekly “homework” for couples who have been struggling with communication. It’s a very non-threatening way for couples to bridge the communications gap by exploring topics they may never have discussed before. The topic level allows for the user to choose how deep they are willing to go, and also challenges users to examine their own hearts and motives. My counselees also report that this app has not only helped them, but has become an enjoyable exercise to stay connected.

I really loved this app. I thought it did really well in giving different categories of questions that you could ask at different points in your relationships/ friendships. I loved reading through the questions as well. And you can save the ones you really like to a folder of it’s own.
