25 questions for couples to ask each other

Questions for couples are prompts you both answer, together, about the relationship you share, from what you called your first meeting to what you assumed without saying it. Pass one phone back and forth: some cards are for talking, others ask one partner to answer secretly while the other guesses. Twosies sorted these from easy to deep.

How to play it as a couple

  1. 1. Tap Play 10 cards. Talk through the open cards together; on cards with options, one of you answers and the other guesses.
  2. 2. Open cards: talk it through. Cards with options: one picks privately, the other guesses.
  3. 3. Compare memories when you disagree. That is usually the best part.

Questions people ask

How is this different from the boyfriend or girlfriend questions?

This list is for the two of you at once: open cards you talk through together, and on cards with options one of you picks privately while the other guesses. The boyfriend and girlfriend pages are set up for one person asking the other. The cards themselves are partner-neutral, so all three lists fit any couple.

What are good questions for couples who just started dating?

Start with your early story: who you told first about them, what you called the first meeting, what you assumed you'd agreed to without ever saying it. They're light and funny, and they show how differently you each remember the same weeks.

Do these questions work for long-term couples?

Yes, maybe better. After years together you think you know the answers, so guessing them becomes a real test. The last cards on the list go deeper, for when you're both in the mood.
