If you’re a new couple or you’ve been together for a while, these questions for couples are ideal to ask each other to start some interesting conversations.
Sometimes, it can be hard to know what things to discuss as a couple. That’s why we created this list. You’ll find plenty of couples questions you can ask from a variety of topics.
Being able to communicate openly and freely is the hallmark of any great relationship. Our couple questions are designed to help you do just that.
With such a large choice, we’re sure you’ll find the ideal questions to ask your partner.
Couple Questions Game
If you want, you can turn these questions into a game between you and your partner.
The rules are simple. You take it in turn to ask questions and tally up the results. If you get the question right, you get a point and whoever has the most points at the end is the winner.
We have a variety of questions here, so choosing ones that have open-ended answers might not be the best idea. Instead, if you ask yes or no questions, or questions that have a clear answer, the game is likely to be a lot smoother!
