After years of being together, sometimes it can feel like you're having the same five conversations on repeat. Thankfully, this list of questions is designed to spark new insights between couples who already know each other inside and out.

These aren’t surface-level prompts, but since you’ve already been through a lot together, I’m guessing you can handle what comes up. They’re designed to stretch you past your usual default answers, remind you of who you are as individuals, and see what else is still left to discover together.

Be playful and honest, and try a few tonight. Once one person answers, let the other take a turn. You might be surprised at what unfolds.
