Whether you’ve recently coupled up, or been going steady for a while - there will always be new things to learn about your partner. And we don’t mean that in the scary ‘skeletons in the closet’ sort of way. We’re talking about the big and little things that make us, us. The things that make us tick, and as well as those we aren’t even aware of!
One of the great things about romantic relationships is being able to see each other grow, evolve and change over time. Initially, there’s the pure bubbling excitement at the beginning of a new relationship. You’re just finding out about each other - likes, dislikes, hobbies, secret fandoms, childhood dreams and stories. But you can never know everything about someone, no matter how long you’ve been dating. And that’s all part of the joy of building a relationship with someone.
Opening up and sharing is key to keeping this relationship flame glowing, no matter what stage of a relationship you’re at. And this is where dating questions for couples come in.
