There are many of us who know the person sitting next to us, but we don’t actually know how well we really know them. We all have a few secrets from each other and in order to know how much you really know your spouse, you have to ask these questions that will help you find out.
Why must I ask these questions?
The list of questions given below is randomly created by experts after they did a survey for about 20 years regarding this matter and most of those couples stated that this is one of the greatest ways to strengthen their relationship.
By asking some random questions which most likely would be not known by others, as well as finding more similarities between two people instead of focusing on differences or fighting over them, it just makes the relationship better than before.

Is your partner ready for it?
Before you start asking these questions, make sure that your partner is in a good mood to do so, or else this won’t be as fun and exciting as it sounds. You can ask if they are interested in finding out how well you know each other and if they say yes, then continue with the list below.
Do I have any thing to prepare for this session?
If you don’t want randomness of these questions being asked on purpose instead of mindlessly, you could create some cards with a few questions printed on them instead of doing everything orally. This will allow you to find out which one wants things done more orderly and which one wants things done randomly while having fun.
How many questions they must be asked?
There are no specific rules for that but we definitely recommend you to ask one or two questions daily per partner if possible and if you do this for at least 3 weeks, then your relationship will be better than before.
