As a couple, you want to get to know everything about each other and deepen your trust and commitment.
Finding out about your partner is something that’s best not left to chance. If you’re going to wait for them to tell you about that traumatic experience they had as a child that shaped who they are today, you may wait forever if you don’t prompt them.
Sharing without any guidance is challenging, and you may also struggle with giving your partner the low-down on you without a little help, which is where couples’ questions come in.
These 50 questions will help you and your partner share in depth what your shaping influences, preferences, and experiences are.
