Posted | Views: 1,049
    Before you and your partner take turns 
asking each other these questions, prepare 
a set of guidelines. For example, you should
both know whether either of you want these 
answers to remain strictly confidential. 
Remember, you do not have to answer any 
questions you are not comfortable with. 
This is very important! Try to open up to 
your partner, but know that you do not 
HAVE TO answer something you are not 
comfortable with sharing. Afford your 
partner with the same respect.
      
 Now, here are the top 20 questions psychologists say develop intimacy and trust: 
1. What is your greatest fear?
2. What makes you the happiest? Saddest?  Angriest?
3.  What would a “perfect day” look like for you?
4. Growing up, what were your parents like?
5. When you were a teenager, what did you want most when you were older?
6. At this point in your life, are you where your childhood self would have guessed?
7. Would you stay with me if you found out that I could not have children? If I had a criminal record? If I had a lot of debt? If I had a terminal disease?
8. Have you ever questioned the existence of love?
