The Connection Card Deck is an interactive digital tool — 150+ conversation prompts organized across six research-informed categories drawn directly from the Gottman framework. Each prompt is designed to go below the surface of the day-to-day, to the kind of knowing that builds real intimacy over time.
This isn't trivia. These are the questions that open the inner world: what you dream about, what scares you, what you value, what you need, and what you've never quite found the moment to say. Categories range from playful to profound, so you can meet each other wherever you both are on any given night.
Use it during a weekly date night, on a long drive, over dinner, or during a quiet Sunday morning. Pull a random card or choose a category intentionally. Use it alone with your partner or in a small group of couples who want to go deeper.
If you're in the Architecture Before the Ring or Marriage Renewal Essentials program, this deck is a natural companion — designed to extend the conversations from your coaching sessions into your daily life between sessions.
Each category targets a different dimension of connection, from the playful to the profound.
Deep knowledge of each other's inner world — dreams, worries, childhood memories, and the small details of daily life that most couples eventually stop asking about. The foundation of intimacy.
Questions that explore how you each express yourself, what you need to feel heard, and how your communication patterns differ — and what you can learn from those differences.
Conversations about how you fight — your triggers, your patterns, your repair style, and what's underneath the recurring arguments. Not to relitigate them, but to understand them.
Physical, emotional, and spiritual closeness — what creates it for you, what erodes it, and how to rebuild it when the distance has grown. Thoughtfully designed for honest conversation.
The values, rituals, and goals that create a sense of shared purpose. What kind of life are you building together? What are you both moving toward? These cards go there.
Because laughter, silliness, and shared joy are not extras — they're load-bearing walls. These prompts are light, fun, and genuinely entertaining. Use them when you just want to enjoy each other.
The deck works with almost no setup. Here's how most couples use it.
Pick a category based on the mood or the moment — or let the deck choose randomly. You can filter by category or hit "Shuffle" for a surprise. No app to download; it runs in your browser.
One prompt at a time. Read it aloud. Take turns answering. There are no wrong answers and no scorekeeping — just two people taking the conversation somewhere real.
Each card has a follow-up prompt to go deeper if you want to. Or draw another card. Or sit with what just came up. The deck is a starting point — you decide where the conversation goes.
A small sample across categories. The full deck has 150+ prompts — these give you a sense of the range.
What's something you're quietly proud of that you've never really told me about?
When you feel most heard by me, what am I doing? And when do you feel least heard?
Is there something I do in arguments that makes it harder for you to stay in the conversation? What would help instead?
What makes you feel truly close to me — not just physically, but in a way that makes you feel like we're really together?
If we looked back at this year together in ten years, what would you want to have been true about how we lived it?
If we could spend one completely guilt-free day doing absolutely anything — money and logistics not a factor — what would your perfect day look like?
