Porch Stories

Questions to ask · Love · for your Grandparents

Where was your first home together? What was in it?

Why this question matters

How two people met is the beginning of your own story too. Small details, a dance, a letter, a first impression, are the parts that are easiest to lose.

Ask it on a quiet afternoon, give time for the answer, and write down the small details. That is where the story lives.

  1. How did you propose, or how did you decide to spend your lives together?
  2. Tell me about your wedding day.
  3. What is a small, everyday thing you love about her?
  4. What was the hardest time you went through together, and how did you get through it?
  5. What makes a marriage last, in your experience?
