Love & Sex

With these questions, you keep the tension in your relationship

Man and woman in bed laughing at each otherUndoubtedly recognizable for people in a committed relationship: when you first met, everything was still exciting and new, and you couldn't stop talking about the most basic things. Naturally, because you don't know each other at all yet, and you can literally ask each other anything. After a while, your relationship settles into calmer waters, and your contact feels less like one big interview about each other's lives. It's perfectly normal for that flame to burn a little less brightly; it's at most a sign that you feel comfortable with each other, and no one can maintain the same behavior for years as at the beginning of a relationship. Still, it can be nice to let the tension flare up a bit or to discover sides of your partner that you didn't know existed. Research shows that the following questions can help you with this:

1. Is there something I can do to better support you and help you grow?
2. What attracted you to me in the beginning?
3. Have I ever done something that pushed you away or gave you a feeling of distance?
4. What is your favorite form of physical intimacy? Do you get enough of it?
5. When do you feel the most aroused by me?
6. When we're together, what makes you feel the sexiest?
7. When were you the most proud of me?
8. What romantic or sexual fantasies do you have?
9. Is there something I do that upsets you, and what do you need from me instead?
10. If you could relive any moment from our past, which moment would it be and why?

Of course, there are many more questions and topics of conversation you can bring up to get to know your partner even better. Research shows that you can ask your partner these 36 questions to fall in love (or fall in love again). It can't hurt, so take some time soon to dive into these questions designed to bring you closer together and literally ask each other everything.
