100 Questions to Strengthen Your Relationship

When we're in a long-term relationship, we often think we know everything about our 'better half,' but there's always more to learn! Run through this list of 100 questions to get to know your partner even better. 

These 100 getting-to-know-you questions will unearth facts and stories you never knew before! We suggest asking a few questions each night over dinner and taking turns to provide answers. Before you know it, you'll be chatting about stories from your childhood, your thoughts on the future, and sharing insights about would-you-ever ideas ... that you've probably never thought of before. 

You can skip questions and give yes/no answers if you want... but you'll have the most fun and learn more if you commit to answering every question in as much detail as you can. Go ahead - share your secret thoughts with each other!
