How Well Do You Know Me? 40 Questions for Couples

By on March 30, 2016

Does your partner know you? Truly know you? Why not quiz them on it?! Of course, they will quiz you too…

Truth be told we all grow and as we grow we change. From your favorite foods, to your dream job – it can all change. To keep your relationship with someone fresh, ask them questions regularly. Don’t get lazy – just because you wake up next to them doesn’t mean you know everything there is to know about them. To have a healthy relationship, you have to be curious about your partner, as well as grow together by doing new things together. Whatever goes stagnant dies, so keep things alive!

1. What’s my favorite season? 

Maybe hint about doing something special, like a wonderful spring/summer/autumn/winter date to celebrate your favorite season next time it comes around! After all, you need to celebrate what you love and doing it together helps the relationship grow stronger.

2. What’s my favorite restaurant? 

If they don’t know this, you don’t go on enough dates…then again, only going on dinner dates gets boring. Still, they should know where to take you when you want to celebrate, or need a bit of encouragement.

3. What’s my dream vacation? 

Well, they best know this, so you can plan it together!

4. What’s the one city I’d move to if I was to move somewhere else?

If the two of you ever feel like a change of scenery it’s great if they are aware of where you’d consider moving. After all, those plan Bs sometimes should have been plan As, or out of necessity become so. And if you already know you want to move there some day, then they definitively need to know about it!

5. Would I rather spend time by the lake, or ocean? 

Maybe this will inspire them to take you on a vacation…unless you already live by a lake or the ocean that is!

6. What’s my favorite car brand?

If they ever decide to buy you a car…

7. What’s the one thing in my life right now that I really want to change? 

No matter how far we get, new things always arise that we are working out. To feel close as a couple you need to know where you’re both at and how you wish to move forward.

8. What’s my favorite TV show of all time? 

Maybe you’re currently addicted to one show or another, but do they know what your favorite TV show of all time is?

9. What’s the one language I’d like to be fluent in that I’m not…yet?

Maybe the two of you should take a course together and then travel to the country where they speak said language? Or indulge in the food and culture locally? Most of us want to learn a language because we’re either in love with the culture, food, people, or actual country and some of it can be had right where you are. You can easily do a themed date night, for example, where you eat Spanish food, take a salsa class and watch a Latin movie together.

10. What’s my favorite romantic gesture?

They better make note about this one if they didn’t already know! Romantic gestures are important to keep a relationship alive.

11. What comforts me when I’m sad?

Again, this is something that can help your relationship. Often our partners are crestfallen when we are sad – they want to comfort us, but they aren’t sure of what to do or say. It will help them hearing from you what it is you actually want.

12. What can you do to perk me up on a day when I’m feeling down?

Sometimes when we are irritated or feeling down it’s hard for us to put into words that we would like a hug, a trip to the movies, or some home cooked food served to us with much gusto. It’s therefore better people know in advance what makes us feel better on days when we’re out of sorts (or just have PMS!). If he knows you really well he will already know this, but it can take years to figure some things out, so if he doesn’t, help him along!

13. What’s my favorite love language(s)?

If you both haven’t already read Gary Chapman’s The Five Love Languages, you better! We all need to be loved in different ways and this book is such a simple read to show how small changes in a relationship can make us feel more loved.

14. What’s my favorite book(s)?

Classic question, but knowing each other’s favorite books, movies, etc. helps you understand one another. Also, some books make for awesome topics of conversation.
