81 Valentine's Day Questions For Couples: Fun & Deep Ideas

Last year, my husband and I sat across from each other at our favorite coffee shop on Valentine's Day. We ordered our usual drinks and settled into that comfortable silence couples fall into after years together. But something felt off. We weren't really connecting. That's when I pulled out my phone and asked him a question I'd never thought to ask: "If you could relive any day we've spent together, which would you pick?"

His answer surprised me. It wasn't our anniversary or that fancy dinner I'd spent weeks planning. It was a random Tuesday when we got caught in the rain walking home from the grocery store. We'd laughed until our sides hurt, completely soaked, sharing one umbrella that barely covered either of us. That question opened up something between us I didn't know we'd lost.

We think we know our partners because we see them every day. But knowing someone's coffee order isn't the same as knowing their heart. The best conversations don't happen when you ask "How was your day?" They happen when you ask questions that make both of you pause and think. Questions that remind you why you fell for this person in the first place. These Valentine's Day questions do exactly that.

1. "If you had to describe our relationship using only three emojis, which ones would you pick?"
