What do you daydream about when your mind wanders?
both of you answer before moving on ๐
A hundred questions is too many for one night, and that is the point. Use it as a bank. One set makes a good date night, and the serious set is better spread over a few evenings than rushed in one.

how to use them well
one set per night
Twenty questions with real answers is about an hour. Pick the set that fits the mood and save the rest.
skip without guilt
If a question does nothing for you two, skip it. A bank works because you choose from it, not because you finish it.
serious set, sober and rested
The money, kids and conflict questions go badly when one of you is tired. Do them on a weekend morning, not at 11pm.
play this daily in Flamme
Flamme, the couples app, sends you both one question a day from a bank of 1500+. You answer privately, then see each other's answer, and a shared streak keeps the habit going.
good questions, answered
What are 100 questions to ask your partner?
This page lists 100, split into five sets of 20: getting to know you (inner world, childhood, small habits), fun and light (hypotheticals, food, petty opinions), your story as a couple, how you each give and receive love, and the serious ones about money, kids, conflict and the future.
Should we answer all 100 in one night?
No. One set of 20 is a full evening. Use the chips in the play mode to pick a set, or shuffle all 100 and stop when it feels done.
What are good questions to ask your partner about the future?
Start concrete: what an ordinary day looks like in ten years, the next milestone you want, saver or spender, kids or not. The serious set on this page covers those, plus how you each handle conflict.
Where do these questions come from?
They were written for The Relationship Questions, a question-deck site that is now part of Flamme, and picked and ordered for this page by the Flamme team.
