A relationship sometimes takes a lot more work than the movies prepare us for.
There’s so much more than just the honeymoon phase; the majority of a relationship is spent trying to live your life with another person, which isn’t always easy.
But we love the partner we choose, which is why we stick with them for the good times and the bad.
At Hack Spirit we believe the best way to stick with your partner is through love and understanding. (That was the main point in our ultimate guide on how to build a successful long-term relationship that we published recently).
When the love starts to get old and passionless, it’s time to reconnect, to bond with each other again at the most intimate levels.
There are many ways to do this: a romantic vacation, fun experiences, a shared success story.
But one simple way to reconnect with your partner is with a simple, deep, and honest conversation. To do this, ask them deep questions.
Here are 65 deep questions to ask a guy or girl that will immediately bring you closer together:
1) What were your first thoughts when we met?
2) How much do you value me?
3) What do you dream about when it comes to our future?
