how to use them well
ban logistics for ten minutes
No schedules, no kids' admin, no house stuff. Ten minutes of one real question a night adds up.
ask about work properly
'How was work?' gets 'fine'. 'What was the most annoying thing someone said today?' gets a story.
flirty still counts
The flirty section is not just for new couples. Asking it after ten years lands differently, in a good way.
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 good questions to ask your husband?
Questions that get past the daily logistics: 'What is something about your job you wish I understood better?', 'What do you carry for us that I probably do not fully see?', 'What is your favorite ordinary memory of the two of us this year?' The sections above sort them by mood.
How do I get my husband to open up?
Ask specific questions at low-pressure moments, like a drive or a walk, and answer your own question too. Side by side is often easier for people than face to face across a table.
Are there questions for both of us?
Yes. The married couple deck on Flamme is written for both partners, and the wife deck mirrors this one.
