Relationships can get boring, but Sean Jameson has found a set of questions that can help spice things up.

When you feel like you don’t have anything in common anymore, it’s nice to learn something new.
Relationships can get boring if they stay perpetually on the same track. When both of you expect the same activities, same foods, same conversations and so on, even the most committed may begin to look elsewhere for excitement. Keeping a relationship strong and happy, therefore, requires that both of you are fulfilled by one another and that you keep each other on your toes.
One of the best ways to do that? As I explain on my site, asking each other questions that broaden the scope of the topics you discuss, help you and your man dig into each other’s inner thoughts and feelings, and enable you to share in ways you never thought possible. Plus, novelty is just plain exciting, so what’s not to like?
These questions for couples will help you broaden your knowledge of each other, deepen your relationship and give you something fun to do with each other. Since open conversation is an activity that can take place almost anywhere — out at dinner, cleaning the house, on a road trip, lying in bed, or just enjoying a sunny day on the porch — these questions for couples are sure to make your life better and brighter.
Below we’ll discuss possible questions you can ask, when to bring them up, and when to avoid them.
The goal of these questions for couples is to have fun in each other’s presence and learn something that will help you be a better girlfriend or wife, and help him be a better boyfriend or husband.
That said, bring them up when there’s a lull in the conversation or you’re bored; you have nothing better to do than talk anyway, right? Throw a few questions into the mix and see what happens.
Although interesting questions can be a fun jumping off point, it’s not always the right time to engage in lighthearted conversation.
If you guys are already addressing questions important to your relationship, it’s not a fantastic time to throw a hypothetical in there. Keep lighter, less necessary questions out of serious conversation unless you want your man to think you don’t care about the topic at hand. If your guy is already deep into a topic, don’t interrupt it with something else. Let him keep talking about what he cares about. When you’re too drunk: A few drinks can really help liberate you to say things you otherwise might not say. However, this isn’t always a good thing — especially when you’re talking about deep topics like one another’s weaknesses, fears, greatest hopes, etc. Questions for couples can be perfect over a few drinks at a restaurant or when you share a bottle of wine, but not when you’re really sloshed.
It’s totally fine to come up with your own questions, but here are a few to get you started.
20 Questions For Couples To Spice Up Your Relationship
1. If you could meet anyone in the world, alive or dead, who would it be?
2. What does friendship look like to you?
3. What is the trait you value most?
4. What do you consider your greatest weakness to be?
5. How do you think others perceive you when they meet you for the first time?
6. What does your perfect day look like?
7. What is your biggest unacknowledged dream?
8. If you could eat anything at all right now, what would you choose?
9. Do you consider yourself a good friend?
10. What is your favorite thing to do?
11. Have you ever been heartbroken?
12. Who is your favorite fictional character ever?
13. Would you rather be rich or famous?
14. If you had to save the world by killing one person, could you live with yourself?
15. What does love look like to you?
16. What is something you would really like to get better at?
17. What is your favorite dessert?
18. You’re going to a desert island. What three things/people do you take?
19. If you could choose any name besides your own, what name would you give yourself?
20. What makes you feel most loved?
As you can see, many of these questions are fairly light, but not all. Even the lighter ones can bring up some heavy answers if you both decide you want to go there. Prepping questions to ask your man might seem a little silly, or even overly prepared, but really this is just a fun way to engage with the person you love on a deeper level. Words are powerful, and so is knowledge. Talking with the person you love to learn more about them and help you be a better, more involved partner is always a great move if you’re looking for long-term love and happiness.
