HOW SPARK WORKS

THREE SIMPLE STEPS
Choose Your Context
Select who you're talking with - couples, friends, family, or even yourself. Each context has questions tailored for that relationship.
Set Your Preferences

Start Conversing
Read the question out loud, take turns answering, and let the conversation flow naturally. Skip any question that doesn't feel right.

TIPS FOR GREAT CONVERSATIONS
Put Away Distractions
Phones on silent, TV off. Being fully present shows you care about the conversation.
Listen More Than You Talk
The best conversations happen when both people feel truly heard. Ask follow-up questions.
Skip When Needed
Not every question is for every moment. Feel free to skip and come back to challenging ones later.
Answer First Sometimes
If you asked the question, try answering it first. It shows vulnerability and sets the tone.
No Judgment Zone
Create a safe space. React with curiosity, not criticism. These questions invite honesty.
Follow the Tangents
If a question leads somewhere unexpected, go with it! The best conversations meander.
