108 Relationship Questions Fun And Deep Questions To Ask Each Other

But when you ask good couples questions, you can open lines of dialogue and build mutual understanding that can make your relationship stronger and happier. You’re interested in learning more about their thoughts on money, sex, kids, affection, career, long-distance, or any of the many topics that help you know each other better. But when you don’t express your needs and discuss your differences, things will inevitably break down. We are turf-oriented creatures, even with our most intimate relationships. We want to protect our relationship  — emotionally, psychologically, and physically — often at the expense of those we love most. Good and close relationships require letting go of some of that turf, compromising, and accepting that the other person’s needs and feelings are as valid as our own. [Side note: In this online course, learn healthy communication skills and build the intimacy you’ve always wanted in your relationship.)

What causes relationship misunderstanding?

Simply living in the same space with another person provides plenty of fodder for arguments. When you are first in a love relationship, the boxers left on the floor are just adorable. The heat turned up to 80 is a darling idea. But eventually, familiarity breeds, if not contempt, plenty of irritation. Add to that the stresses of children, finances, and career — along with the real differences in the way men and women perceive the world, and it’s a wonder any of us make it through the first few years of a relationship. We have to talk about what’s bugging us, what we want from the other, our dreams and disappointments. And we have to listen, really listen to what the other is saying. To do that, you must divorce yourself from your personal needs long enough to put the relationship first. That means conversation can’t devolve into protecting your turf or being right. You must exercise some self-control, even when strong feelings make you want to say unspeakable things. The most successful, intimate relationships involve proactive communication before a fight ever breaks out. As stilted as it may seem, meeting with your spouse or partner on a regular basis and knowing the questions to ask in a relationship will help you learn about each other. And it will protect your relationship from altercations and even better, it will create a new level of closeness between you.
