25 deep questions for couples

Deep questions are not a survey. Choose one, listen to the answer and ask one more. None of them has a right answer; the point is to see how the other person thinks.

  1. Have you discovered something new about yourself lately?
  2. What's the hardest thing for you to say to me?
  3. When do you feel most like yourself?
  4. Honestly, where do you see the two of us in five years?
  5. What does a good life look like to you?
  6. Do I know what makes you feel safest?
  7. What have you changed your mind about in recent years?
  8. What would you most like to change in your life?
  9. What brings you the most peace?
  10. Is there something about me you still don't understand?
  11. Looking back, which decision are you proud of?
  12. If you told me one of your fears, which one would it be?
  13. What would you want to tell yourself ten years from now?
  14. Do you ever feel lonely, even when I'm right there with you?
  15. What helps you after an argument?
  16. What are you trying hardest to prove about yourself?
  17. What do people most often misunderstand about you?
  18. What do you think is hard for us, even if we don't talk about it?
  19. If you had a free year, what would you learn and where would you go?
  20. What makes forgiving hard for you?
  21. What do you think is our greatest strength?
  22. Which habit from your family would you like to let go of?
  23. What achievement would mean the most to you?
  24. Where are you most unfair to yourself?
  25. What does growing as a person mean to you?

How to use these

  • One question is enough. Pick one and talk about the answer instead of reading the list.
  • Both of you answer. It is not an interview, so answer the same question yourself.
  • Try writing first. Writing before you share keeps you honest and stops one answer shaping the other.
