Like each relationship, Valentine’s Day looks different for everyone. Whether you believe the holiday was invented by greeting card companies, or feel it’s a sacred, centuries-old tradition can impact how you spend February 14.
This year, no matter how you decide to celebrate (or not celebrate) the holiday, use it as an opportunity to get to know your partner a little better. Maybe you’ve been dating for decades, or the relationship isn’t even Instagram official yet. Either way, Cupid’s birthday is a great time to dive deep by asking each other a few questions.
Choose to swap stories over a fancy 5-star dinner or cuddled up on the couch with your favorite cheesy rom-com. No matter where you are in your relationship, these 30 prompts will help strengthen it.
