You can be in love and still feel like somethingโs missing. Maybe the talks are fine, the routine works, but the closeness feels out of reach. Or maybe things are goodโbut you want more.
Thatโs where the right questions matter. Not random ones. Not stuff you already know. But real intimate questions that open the door to things youโve never said out loud.
Youโll find 220 questions here. Each one meant to help you understand each other in ways that feel honest, safe, and a little brave.
Some are light. Some are deep. Some might make you laugh or cry. Thatโs the point.

FAQs About Using Intimate Questions in a Real Relationship
Final Thoughts
Most couples donโt fall apart all at once. They drift. A few days without asking how the other person feels. A few weeks of only talking about schedules. A few months of skipping what really needs to be said. Then one day, silence feels normal.
You donโt need a crisis to change that.
You need one real question. One answer that matters. One night where you both sit down, put your phones away, and give a damn.
Use this list however you want. Use it messy. Use it slowly. Use it when things feel off or when things feel good and you want to keep them that way.
The point isnโt to finish. The point is to stay curious.
Thatโs what keeps two people close.
