Okay, so yesterday, I decided to do this “relationship survey” thing I saw floating around. Thought it might be fun, and maybe, just maybe, I’d learn something new about my partner and me. Here’s how it went down:
Finding the Right Questions
First, I needed to find a good survey. I just googled “relationship survey questions,” and, boy, did I get a lot of results. Some were super cheesy, some were way too serious, and some were just plain weird. I spent a good hour just sifting through them all.
- I skipped anything that felt too intrusive or judgmental.
- I looked for questions that were open-ended and encouraged conversation.
- I aimed for a mix of lighthearted and more thoughtful questions.
Finally, I found a list that seemed pretty balanced. It had stuff like “What’s your favorite memory of us?” and “What’s one thing you appreciate about me?” but also things like “What’s one area we could improve in?” and “What are your biggest fears about our future?”
Setting the Mood
I didn’t want this to feel like an interrogation, so I tried to make it, you know, romantic-ish. I lit some candles, put on some chill music, and poured us both a glass of wine. We sat on the couch, all cozy, and I explained what I wanted to do.
Taking the Survey
We took turns asking each other the questions. I made sure we each had plenty of time to answer, and we really listened to each other. Some of the answers were surprising! I learned that my partner’s favorite memory of us was a random Tuesday night when we just stayed in, ordered pizza, and watched bad reality TV. I would’ve thought it was some big, fancy date, but nope, it was the simple stuff.
We also talked about some tougher stuff, like our communication styles and how we handle conflict. It wasn’t always easy, but it felt good to be honest and open. There were a few moments of awkward silence, but we pushed through.
The Aftermath
After we finished the survey, we just chatted for a while. We felt closer, more connected. It was like we had cleared the air and reaffirmed our commitment to each other. I highly recommend doing this, even if you think your relationship is already rock solid. It’s a great way to check in and make sure you’re both on the same page.
It wasn’t some magical fix-all, but it was a really positive experience. And hey, any excuse for candles and wine is a good one in my book!
