Couples conversation guide

Questions to Ask Your Partner When You Want to Feel Closer

Closeness is often built through ordinary attention. These questions invite your partner to share what matters to them now, without requiring either of you to have a polished answer.

How to use these questions

  1. Choose one question that you sincerely want to hear the answer to.
  2. Let pauses happen; not every good answer arrives quickly.
  3. Respond with curiosity before offering advice or your own example.

Questions to try

  1. What have you been thinking about more than people realize?
  2. What helps you feel cared for on an ordinary day?
  3. What is something good you want us to make more space for?
  4. What are you looking forward to sharing with me?
  5. What feels different about you lately—in a good way or simply a new way?
