Questions About the Past & Future

Download Article

See if your partner knows where you’ve been (and where you want to go next). In a committed relationship, it’s equally important to know details of how your partner came to be the person they are today and what they envision for your (hopefully shared) future. According to love coach Kate Dreyfus, this “vulnerable intimacy” involves “sharing challenges you’ve faced in your life to feel exposed…(which allows you to let the light in). And, it’s just as important to ask them to also open up…to create a balance in your vulnerable exchange to support the success of your emotional connection.”^{[6]

How to Play Couples Trivia

Download Article

1
Choose a set of 15-30 questions for each partner to answer about the other. In a traditional game of couples trivia, each person will be asked questions about their partner and be tested on whether they can answer correctly. So, before the game begins, each person must pick out the questions that they want their partner to answer about them. Have them written down somewhere so that they can easily be accessed and asked during the game.^{[11]
X
Research source}
2
Starting with one set, go through the Qs one by one and write down answers. For the first round, choose one partner to be the “asker” and one to be the “answerer.” Have the “asker” go through the list of questions they’ve picked out and ask them to their partner one by one. Both partners should write their answers down on a small whiteboard or piece of paper.^{[12]
X
Research source}
3
Take turns revealing the answers to each other. When both players have recorded their answers, they’ll show their answers at the same time to see if the “answerer” gave the same response as the “asker.” Proceed this way through the entire set of questions, then switch roles and repeat with the other partner’s list of trivia Qs.^{[13]
X
Research source}
- Optionally, keep track of scores and tally up who got the most questions correct (aka, who knew the most about their partner).
- What if you get a low score? Don’t sweat it if someone gets a few answers wrong. Remember that the point of this game is to feel more in sync with each other and to get to know each other even better—so don’t treat it like a test of your relationship or like a competition against each other. The most important thing is to take the opportunity to better understand your partner.
4
Take time after each question to talk through the responses as needed. While this game should definitely be fun and lighthearted, it’s also a good way to get to know each other better. So, avoid rushing through the game or getting caught up in distractions during play. Whenever needed, take a moment after a question to really talk through the answers together.^{[14]
