100 “How Well Do You Know Me?” Questions for Couples

(To Spark Laughter, Connection, and Maybe a Few Surprises)

You love your partner. You know them.
Their favorite coffee order. The way they wrap themselves in the blanket like a burrito. The one show they’ll rewatch for the tenth time.

But even in the most connected relationships, we all have blind spots.

Sometimes we assume we know everything there is to know about someone—until a simple question reveals something new. That’s what makes these “how well do you know me?” questions so powerful. They aren’t just about trivia—they’re about connection. Emotional curiosity. Tuning into each other again.

So whether you’re newly dating or years into marriage, here are 100 questions to help you slow down, share, laugh, and maybe even learn something new.

Why These Questions Matter

You don’t need a fancy date night or couples retreat to feel close again.
You just need moments where you turn toward each other and ask:
“What’s it like to be you right now?”

That’s what these questions are really about.

They:

• Encourage emotional attunement (even with light topics!)

• Help partners reconnect after conflict or distance

• Build curiosity and safety in communication

• Remind you that your partner is always growing—and so are you

So grab two cups of something warm, get cozy, and start asking.
You can take turns answering, or play it as a game: one person guesses the other’s answer before they reveal it. Keep it fun, open, and pressure-free.
