Relationships
Have you been dating that special someone for awhile? Is this relationship starting to seem like something serious? You may have even thought about getting married. If this is the case, you both ought to start asking some questions for couples that will help you to relate to each other better.
To get you started on this exercise, these are my top 20 questions for couples:
1. If you were able to change anything about yourself, what would you change?
2. What one thing would you change about me, if you were able to?
3. What makes you feel loved, more so than anything else?
4. What does success mean to you?
5. What would you change first if you were the king (or queen) of the world?
6. What event in history would you want to witness if you could journey back in time?
7. If you could travel back in time, what famous historical event would you like to change?
8. What do people do that annoys you more than anything else?
9. Of all the places on Earth, where would be your first choice to live?
10. Complete this sentence: Before I die, the thing I most want to accomplish is ______.
11. Have you learned any lessons from past relationships? What were they?
12. Do you seek certain qualities in a person? What are those?
13. In your judgement, what are your best character traits?
14. What's the most insane thing you've ever done?
15. What stands out as your most memorable moment?
16. What would you do with your winnings if you won the lottery?
17. If you were going to a deserted island, what three items would you bring along?
18. What period in history would you have liked to be born in and why?
19. What are you more passionate about than anything else?
20. What's one place you haven't visited yet that you really want to see?
If my top 20 questions for couples inspire you to engage in meaningful dialogue with your lover, then this article has accomplished its mission. I'm sure you can think of some more "get to know" questions, and even some fun questions for couples. Try to avoid simple "yes" or "no" questions. Open-ended questions are generally much better at initiating in-depth discussions. Putting forth some effort to better understand each other now will have long term rewards for both of you.
