Interviewing Your Partner
We never learn all there is to know about our partners. Take turns answering the questions. Give each other permission to skip questions.
- Did you enjoy elementary school?
- What were your best and worst subjects?
- What book/movie/play or author most influenced you?
- Who is your favorite relative?
- To which family member were you closest as a child?
- What career choice appealed to you as a child?
- What major illnesses did you have as a child or youth?
- What was the most dramatic event in your childhood or youth?
- What achievements have brought you the greatest satisfaction?
- What are your three favorite leisure activities?
- What is your favorite main course, dessert, color, musical instrument, entertainer, TV show?
- What do you consider your most attractive and unattractive physical features?
- What has been the biggest disappointment in your life to this point?
- What were the major turning points in your life?
- What do you consider your major successes?

After you have completed interviewing each other, take time to discuss together how it felt to learn new information about each other.
