The Bottom Line (aka Why You Should Save This Post RN)
Here’s the deal – relationships are like plants. They need water, sunlight, and apparently, according to my last houseplant, they need more than just good intentions (RIP Kevin the Cactus 🌵).
These questions are like plant food for your relationship – they keep things fresh, fun, and growing.
Don’t stress about memorizing these or making them perfect. The point is to have fun and maybe learn that your partner once tried to convince their college roommate they were secretly a mermaid (true story from one of our readers! 😂).
Save this post, screenshot your faves, or do what I do – randomly blurt them out when your partner least expects it.
Trust me, nothing breaks up a boring Tuesday like asking about their most embarrassing Google search history.
And hey, if these questions lead to deep conversations at 2 AM about your childhood dreams or that one time you both got lost and ended up at a goat farm – even better!
That’s the stuff real relationship goals are made of.
