20 Questions to Bring Back “The Spark”

Welcome to Denver Couples Center's psychotherapy blog, where we strive to nurture and strengthen the bonds that hold relationships together. Today, we delve into the elusive yet essential element of any romantic connection: "The Spark." It's that magnetic force that draws two people together, igniting passion, intimacy, and excitement. But what happens when that spark dims or fades? Is it possible to reignite it?

At Denver Couples Center, we firmly believe that with introspection, communication, and a willingness to explore, couples can rediscover the magic that initially brought them together. To aid in this journey, we've compiled a set of 20 thought-provoking questions designed to help you and your partner reconnect on a deeper level and reignite that spark:

1. What initially attracted you to your partner?

2. How do you envision your ideal relationship, and how does it differ from your current reality?

3. What are three things that first come to mind when you think about your partner?

4. What activities or hobbies do you both enjoy doing together?

5. How do you express affection and appreciation for each other?

6. What are your individual love languages, and how do they align or differ?
