Whether you're in a brand-new relationship or you've been together for years, there's still things you've yet to learn about each other, even if you think you know every story, quirk, and foreplay move they've got. And in 2020, you've likely spent a LOT of time together, unless you're in a long-distance relationship (even then, you're likely logging an unprecedented amount of Zoom hours). It's important for couples to keep things feeling fresh, and what's more, our wants and needs evolve over the years. That's why asking each other some intimate, romantic, and thought-provoking questions can be a fun chance to bond, and check in with each other's visions of what the future might hold.

Some of these questions will make you laugh. Others can improve your communication, and present an opportunity to learn more about your significant other's childhood—and their views on love and marriage, as well as how to keep them even happier in the bedroom. Consider creating a cozy space to share your answers and make a fun couples game of it during a date night at home, or ask each other a few questions at a time on a rolling basis when you're bored. Here are 100 good questions for couples to ask each other. Want even more? Check out our juicy never-have-I-ever questions, and our delightfully dirty sex questions, too.
