It’s easy to lose your sense of playfulness as a couple, especially in long-term relationships or during periods when you become overwhelmed by routine and responsibilities. However, bringing playfulness into your dynamic can help increase intimacy, build trust, reduce conflict and create a safe way to communicate.

  • What’s something you thought about me when we first met but never said?
  • What’s one habit of mine that you secretly find funny?
  • What’s a random fact about you that no one else knows?
  • What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve done in front of me?
  • What was the last thing you looked up on Google?

Silly “What If” Questions

Spicy Questions
