Long-Term Relationships and Marriage • wolfpackshock21 • 1mo ago

I want to connect with my boyfriend on a much deeper level.

I'm looking for suggestions on thought-provoking questions and conversations to have with my significant other. I'm a 27-year-old female and he's a 30-year-old male. Lately, I feel like I'm not asking enough meaningful questions, and our discussions often seem to stay on the surface. I want to explore questions that will encourage him to reflect deeply, perhaps ones that could lead him to share more emotional experiences. What types of questions do long-term couples ask each other to deepen their understanding, even after many years together?
