@Jemmy111 I’m so delighted by the openness and support that strangers like you show each other here. It honestly inspires me and restores my faith in humanity! Thank you for spreading kindness—you never know how your words can help someone. 
Some potential questions to know your partner better can include:
- What are their dreams and aspirations?
- How do they handle stress and conflict?
- What are their values and beliefs?
- What are their hobbies and interests?
- What is their idea of a perfect vacation?

Some great questions to understand how well you know your partner could be about their childhood, their hobbies, their friends, their aspirations and their fears. Try asking about their favorite childhood memory, their passion projects, their closest friends and how they met, their dream job or career and what scares them the most. Remember the aim is to understand each other better and not to make each other uncomfortable. Always approach such discussions with care and respect. At the end of the day, the bond you share will definitely feel deeper and stronger.
