An important factor in relationship success is "knowing" about your partner's world. This fun set of questions helps partners to know each other better. Take turns reading the questions and guessing your partner's answer. Your partner should tell you if you are correct, and if not, tell you the right answer. The spirit of this exercise is laughter, and gentle fun. Don't keep score.
