Emotional intimacy is much more than physical proximity. It's that rare and precious ability to show vulnerability to each other, to share your deepest fears, wildest dreams, and most authentic emotions. It's what transforms an ordinary relationship into an extraordinary connection.
These 40 questions have been carefully designed to help you explore together the most intimate territories of your hearts. They invite you to go beyond usual conversations to create moments of deep and sincere connection.
