People talk about getting to know each other better, but without some simple guided questions, our conversations can end up superficial or cyclical, without the depth and sincerity we yearn for.
Here are some conversation starters that can be explored as a couple. Approach them with lightness and curiosity; there are no right answers. But if you can create a safe space where each can be explored honestly then there’s a good chance you’ll learn a lot about each other.
Remember to have fun! Maybe go to a favourite cafe, or cook a nice dinner at home, or a walk on the beach. Some of the questions can reveal a lot about a person, so make sure the timing is right.
