What kinds of questions to ask your partner to get to know him or her in a deeper way?

When you've been together with someone for a while, maybe even several decades, it's easy to lose your sense of curiosity and assume you know everything there is to know about that person. You might even begin to take your spouse or partner for granted, and when that happens, boredom and emotional flat-lining sets in.

One of the best ways to get to know your partner again is to ask them certain questions, in a mood of wonder and curiosity.

We share three categories of questions you can ask to get to know your spouse or partner better, and for each category, we give examples of specific questions you can use.

The three categories are:

1. Deepening questions

2. Intimacy questions

3. Understanding questions (or curiosity questions).

The first two categories are super effective in building intimacy and trust in a relationship, quickly. The last category, Understanding Questions, is extremely important to avoid triggers and upsets when you see your partner doing or saying things you don't like or understand.

Because of the restrictions and challenges of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) there is so much extra stress, fear, and tension in our relationships. This stress takes a real toll on us as individuals and on our marriage or relationship, when really, we need to be connected and in sync more than ever.
