150 ‘How Well Do You Know Your Partner’ Questions to Test Your Relationship
When you’ve been with your significant other for years, you might start to think you know everything about them. But no matter how long you’ve been together there’s always something new to learn — and taking our how well do you know your partner questions is a great way to test your couple's knowledge.
While it doesn’t need to be a full-scale couples quiz night every time (even though the Newlywed Game is pretty fun), these how well do you know me questions are a great way to gauge how well you know your partner, and how much you still have to learn about one another. Asking these fun questions can be a great way to reconnect, and even be a springboard for new, uncharted conversations.
Don’t worry if you get any of these questions wrong — it’s just a chance to get to know each other better! And if you ace all of them, you can rejoice in the fact that you’re completely in sync.
Should you know everything about your partner?
Even though some couples vow that they know every single thing about their romantic partner, this couldn’t possibly be true!
At Paired, we believe that there is always something more to learn about your significant other! Throughout life, we’re all constantly evolving, both as individuals and in our romantic relationships. This is why there are always so many opportunities to get to know your partner on a deeper level — with the Paired daily question only scratching the surface!
In fact, experts say that knowing your partner inside and out is key to a happy and healthy relationship. In her long-term study on marital happiness, relationship therapist and academic Dr. Terri Orbuch found that relationship satisfaction is partly contingent on how deeply and intimately two partners know each other — including how well they know each other's thoughts, feelings, and vulnerabilities.
Meanwhile, psychologist and relationship expert Dr. John Gottman believes that a strong predictor of relationship stability is how much partners know about each other's "inner worlds". This knowledge helps couples stay connected in stressful times, rather than becoming strangers to each other.
How can you learn more about your partner?
In a romantic relationship, every day is a new opportunity to get to know each other! When you’ve been with your partner long-term, it’s tempting to approach conversations as if you already know everything they’re going to say.
However, if you really want to learn more about your loved one, it’s important to remain receptive to new faucets of their character that you’ve never explored before. And while it may seem odd that you don’t get every question right, think of it as a learning experience rather than a sign you’re a bad partner!
