How well do you know yourself? How about your partner? Appreciating how you and your significant other uniquely experience and respond to the world enhances the depth and connection of your relationship.
While we are (seemingly still) humans and not machines, we can still try our best to understand each other’s code. The following questions are designed to foster a deeper understanding of yourself and one another. By answering these prompts with openness, trust and vulnerability, you can create a (insert your partner’s name) user manual.
