A few years ago, there was an article called \u201cThe 36 Questions That Lead to Love<\/a>\u201d in The New York Times<\/em> that went viral. The article talked about how being vulnerable with your someone can help increase the sense of closeness you feel with them. It makes sense, right? When you know a lot about someone and what makes them tick, you probably feel pretty close to them. In many relationships in life, we have to get to know people to make things work. Recall experiences you had in the past – did you get to know your coworkers at each job? In school, did you make friends with classmates or teammates? You probably did, and if you didn\u2019t, you probably had a different social outlet where you got to know people. Getting to know someone by asking them questions is a tale as old as time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Those early days full of butterflies and excitement usually come with a long list of get to know you questions. Once you covered the surface stuff, you probably went deeper until you felt like you understood one another. At some point in long-term relationships, that heady New Relationship Energy<\/a> can fade. Once you\u2019ve settled into the routine of your relationship, you may find you have less time for curiosity about the mystery that is your partner.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Established relationships have a lot of plus sides, but it can be hard to recapture that early spark that brought you closer together. One way to spark that feeling that you\u2019re getting to know each other again is to ask each other questions! Not just small talk, either! Increasing the level of intimacy in a relationship requires more than superficial chit-chat. You\u2019ll need to go deep to increase the emotional closeness that you feel with one another.\u00a0Bringing back that sense of closeness, or spark, takes time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You don\u2019t have to use all of these questions, but go through the list to see what makes you curious or what sparks other questions. You can also keep a list of questions on your phone so you can add to it whenever you think of something. Maybe even make it a regular date night! It can be like trivia, but about yourselves and you both win. Especially after the last year and a half, all of our relationships could use some tending right now, and this is a simple way to start.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n A few years ago, there was an article called \u201cThe 36 Questions That Lead to Love\u201d in The New York Times that went viral.
