Whether you are engaged, newlywed or have been married for years. It’s good to take a moment to reconnect since time can get so busy that it’s easy to lose touch with our partners, and that’s where these thoughtful questions for couples come into play.
Communication is key in any healthy relationship. The point of these questions is to dig deeper than the routine discussions about work, chores, kids and daily activities. Let’s really talk and engage in meaningful conversations that can reignite the flame. These questions are not just prompts; they are invitations to explore, understand, and cherish the depth of your relationship.
1. What Dreams Do We Share?
This question is a fun one. Take a moment to discuss your dreams and aspirations as a couple and create a vision board or digital vision board of what you two want. Think about places you want to travel to, if starting a family is on your list, or pursuing a shared hobby. Use this time to align your dreams and give something to look forward to.
2. How Have We Grown Together?
It is good to take a moment to reflect on your relationship. Use this time to reflect on the journey you’ve taken as a couple. The history you two have as a couple should be acknowledged and celebrated. Think about how you have both grown individually and as partners. Cheers to the milestones and don’t forget to acknowledge the challenges that have shaped your relationship because overcoming them is amazing.
3. What Makes Us Laugh Uncontrollably?
Laughter is just as powerful as love is. It is always nice to take a moment to share your favourite funny memories. Explore what makes your partner’s belly laugh or cry with laughter. You should have a few in your back pocket that you can use like inside jokes, funny movies, or silly moments.

8. What Traditions Do We Want to Create?
Finding a simple tradition together is so special. When you do this you are creating a meaningful tradition that adds depth to your relationship. Now it doesn’t have to be big but it can be as simple as a weekly date night, a mandatory anniversary getaway or simple daily rituals. Mine is that we replaced our dating anniversary and made it a mandatory anniversary.
