Play the game!
When we talk about the word ‘intimacy’ in a relationship, most of us think about cuddles, kisses or sex, isn’t it? But many of us tend to ignore the fact that the foundation of a healthy relationship is based on physical as well as emotional intimacy. In fact, a relationship can survive (and thrive!) only when both the partners make effort to strengthen their emotional bond. Therefore, spare a few minutes tonight, and ask your partner these seven questions that would make him or her brood over a little and help you both to come a little closer!
If you have unlimited money and free time, what would you be doing?
Whether we like to accept it or not, most of us slog in our 9-to-5 jobs just for the salary we receive at the end of the month. But what happens when money and time are not a concern in your life? What would you do? This question is a great conversation starter and would help you understand your partner’s dreams and aspirations.
When did you realise ‘I am the one’?
This is another fun question that would make your partner express his or her true feelings. What was the exact moment when your partner realised you are the better half? What’s the reason that makes him or her love you? Be prepared to say aww!
Your favourite memory of ‘us’
Going down the memory lane and thinking about your happy moments only makes you realise how far you have come as a couple! Let them take their time, pick that best moment and maybe, plan to recreate that day!
The last thing I did that you enjoyed the most
The answer to this question will make your partner acknowledge the things you have done for him or her! Let your partner pick out an instance when you made him happy, and you can also recall and appreciate his last sweet gesture. The result? You both know at least one way to make each other happy on a gloomy day!
When was the last time you cried?
This can be a serious question but your partner’s answer would help you to understand him on a deeper level. He might share his deep secret or concern that you did not know about and give you an opportunity to stand by him through thick and thin.
The one thing we can do to strengthen our relationship
This can help you understand your partner’s perspective on the relationship and what are the areas that can be worked upon. Remember to not overreact or defend yourself. Just listen to his suggestion, take your time to brood over it and bring up this topic some time later!
What’s the perfect way to end a day?
This answer to this question cannot be predicted. Your partner might give a serious reply like having a good conversation, enjoying delicious meal or reading a book. But be prepared if your partner drops a hint towards something mischievous and want to see how proactive you are!
