Ask Your S.O. These 150 Relationship Questions Today

If you’re looking for relationship questions to ask your significant other, you’ve come to the right place, as this is what we’re talking about. 

Relationships can be the most fulfilling things in this world, if done right. Obviously, that that train of thought applies to any type of relationship, but romantic ones have a sort of “magic” of their own.

However, you can sometimes find yourself almost distanced from your partner, and it might be because you’re not asking the proper relationship questions.

Sure, you definitely know a lot of things about your partner by now, since otherwise the two of you wouldn’t have gotten together.

But, are you making it a priority to really know them? How about understanding what they really want?

The truth is, deep conversations or self-reflection just don’t come as naturally to us as they maybe should when we’re close with someone, but it’s understandable.

Modern life requires us to be on the go constantly; to multitask, always keep various things in mind, to sometimes even place business before our personal lives.

As such, we gradually create an unwanted distance between us and our loved ones, because they’re in the same situation too.

When it’s our partner, this becomes that more problematic, since they’re the last person which you want to view as just a roommate. 

So then, what’s the solution?

Ask The Right Relationship Questions

There are a few ways for you to improve your communication in a relationship, but the most straightforward one is to ask both yourself, and your partner, valuable questions.

But which questions are more valuable? 

They’re relationship questions from which the two of you have something to learn. They’re questions that if you give yourself time to reflect on properly, they’ll help you grow, both personally, as well as together.

Once you both effectively choose to block some time on your day (or on specific days) just to have a conversation or have a moment of introspection, that’s when the real questions come to mind.

Yes, we know it’s not the easiest task to do. We know that you must first give priority to “who’s gonna do the shopping”, “who’s picking up the kids”, and “am I forgetting something that really had to be done today?”.

However, we guarantee that it is worth it. We know, because as the creators of this platform and blog, we’re married ourselves!
