Meal Questions--Marina

Our family has made a commitment to enjoy family meals together at least three times a week. In the past, we have eaten separately, so this is a big step for us. To make our time more productive and enjoyable, we are asking each other questions to spark good discussion (everyone is required to answer). This has been working beautifully. Here are some samples:

I wish I never...
