Over the years, I’ve found that a relaxed yet romantic dinner at home, as opposed to a night out, is much more desirable. Sure, the novelty of a restaurant meal is something to savor, but I love the comfort and intimacy of date night chez moi. Where to start? Set the mood by dimming the lights, putting on your favorite record and preparing a delicious meal to roast in the oven. After? Prepare for the presence. To make any night with your partner more meaningful, I’ve curated a list of 50 intimacy questions that will help guide your conversation and help you both go deeper.
While setting is key to an intimate evening at home, without enticing conversation, even the most beautiful setting can fail. So put aside the stress of the day or week and come to the table with intentional questions that will help you deepen your relationship.
