We’ve all heard it—“How was your day?” It’s a nice gesture, sure. But when it’s the only question we ask, day after day, we miss out on opportunities to truly connect. 🤝
Whether you’re in a new relationship or have been together for years, asking intentional, curiosity-driven questions can be one of the most powerful intimacy exercises. Below are 15 questions that go far deeper than small talk. Use them on your next date night, a quiet Sunday afternoon, or whenever you want to feel closer.
How to use this list:
- Pick 3–5 questions at a time (don’t rush the whole list in one go)
- Take turns answering—listen fully before responding
- Put your phones away and stay present 📴
