Relationship check-in questions are game changers when it comes to taking care of your marriage or partnership. Being open and vulnerable with your someone can help increase the sense of closeness you feel with them.
There are a lot of plus sides to being in an established relationship, but it's not uncommon for couples to report a lack of curiosity, connection and intimacy as they settle into their relationships and that exciting New Relationship Energy fades. When this happens, it can be hard to recapture the early spark that brought you closer together.
One of the best ways to keep the spark alive in a long-term relationship is to remain curious about your partner and open yourself up to having more vulnerable conversations. This deepens the level of intimacy and builds on the emotional closeness that you feel with one another.
This month is the season of love, and we are focusing these questions on building intimacy, deepening connection and keeping the spark alight (or reigniting it if it's been feeling a little dim). Try going through the list to see what makes you curious and take turns asking each other questions.
