Have you been dating someone special for a little while? And are you at that point in your relationship where you're starting to think it might get serious? Perhaps thoughts of marriage have even crossed your mind. If so, you both need to start asking some questions for couples that will help you to get to know each other better.

Here are my top 10 questions for couples to get you started:

1. If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be?

2. If you could change anything about me, what would it be?

3. What, more than anything else, makes you feel loved?

4. How do you define success?

5. If you were the king (or queen) of the world, what is the first thing you would change?

6. If you could travel back in time, which historical event would you like to witness?

7. What is the most important thing you want to accomplish before you die?

8. What's your biggest pet peeve? (Something people do that REALLY annoys you).

9. Where in the world would you most like to live?

10. If money was no object, what would you be doing right now?

I hope that my top 10 questions for couples will help to inspire some important conversations between you and your loved one. I'm sure you can think of some more "get to know" questions, and even some fun questions for couples. Try to avoid simple "yes" or "no" questions. Open-ended questions are generally much better at initiating in-depth discussions. Making an effort to get to know your partner better will be rewarding for both of you.
