Frequently asked questions
Are these questions better for new couples or long-term relationships?
Both. The Communication and Values sections are great for couples getting more serious, while the Everyday Life and Growing sections tend to hit deepest for long-term partners looking to reconnect.
Are these hard or uncomfortable questions to answer?
A few will make you pause and think, but none are meant to put anyone on the spot. They're built to open honest conversation, not to test or trap your partner.
How often should we use these as a relationship check-in?
Many couples pick five or six questions once a month, or whenever things start feeling routine, as a low-pressure way to reconnect and stay on the same page.
