This post is by one of my oldest and dearest friends, Lauran. She is witty and insightful and this post will bless you. Enjoy! Warning: One of these questions led to a real-life breakup. I am not a counselor. If you want to read posts by relationship coaches who can help you, Eric and Heather are awesome. If we have made it past three dates, I need to know some things about you beyond your favorite restaurant.

Recently, I was given the opportunity to be an interviewed guest on Belah Rose's terrific podcast at delightyourmarriage.com!
