Since Chloe was born, Barry and I don’t go out quite as often as we used to. 🙂 However, this is OK with us – we are enjoying this current season of our life, as we know that it will fly by! As a result of spending more time at home, we’ve been coming up with creative at-home date night ideas that are a little more exciting than just watching a movie together. Our latest favorite has been asking each other date night questions.
The other night, after cooking dinner, we put Chloe to bed, took some drinks out with us onto our balcony, and spent some time asking each other questions about each other and our relationship. It was so much fun, and not only did it make us think deeply, but it also brought us closer together as a couple by spurring some great conversations. Best of all, it was free, and didn’t require any materials. A win-win!
Because we enjoyed our evening so much, we decided to come up with some more questions that can be used for a fun date night at home, or while out and about (this would be a really fun activity to do while out at a bar or restaurant with your partner!) Feel free to to pick and choose which questions or categories you like best…or really make it a night (like we did!) and take turns each answering every single question. Some are lighthearted, and some are more serious…but all are powerful and will allow you and your partner to get to know each other better, no matter how long you’ve been together! We hope you enjoy these questions, and that they lead to great conversations with your partner. After all, talks like these are so important!

What other questions would you add to this list?
I love this, I sent it to my boyfriend! (so, we can save it and I wanna try it) Thank you!
Awesome! I hope you both enjoy the questions!
This is so cute! A friend recently posted on facebook asking for everyone to recommend date night questions. I’ll happily pass this post along.
Thank you, I appreciate it! I hope she enjoys. 🙂
I love these questions! Definitely going to ask some of them with hubby! No matter how long you’ve been together you’ll never know what they’re always thinking or feel
That is so true! My husband and I learned a few new things about each other, which was great 🙂
How cool. This is such a great list, and a sweet idea. We live in Minnesota where there are lots of long winter nights, so I just pinned this for later. 🙂 Great post!
Thank you! I live in NJ, and while it’s not quite as cold as Minnesota…I totally feel you. It’s so easy to go stir crazy! 🙂
Great list! Definitely thought provoking! I’ll try them out 🙂
Thank you! Enjoy!
This is great! My husband and I have been married for 5.5 years at this point (and hopefully many more years to come!). It can be so difficult to find things to talk about OTHER than life, bills, kids, etc.! Love these ideas!
Thank you! I agree – it’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day…and that’s no good!
