One Question Deeper: Couples

For the person you chose.

Good conversations build a love that lasts.

280 questions and 560 follow-ups for two people still finding out who the other one is, whether you met last year or a decade ago.

Eight sections: The Two of Us Lately, How We Began, Play and Adventure, Home and Money, The People Around Us, Trust and Repair, Intimacy and Desire, and The Long Road.

It opens with the question most couples skip: How are you, actually? Then it keeps going. What did your friends say about me early on? What is your honest relationship with money right now? What is your flinch, the one I should know by now? What is on our list that we pretend is postponed but is actually parked?

Interludes teach the craft as you go: Ask Like a Stranger, Go First When It Is Scary, The Pause Is Not a Problem, and Receive, Do Not Repair. That last one matters more than any single question in the book.

Every question carries two follow-ups, because the second question is where people start to feel seen. Each also carries a cue for the listener: what to watch for while the other person answers.

Both of you answer. Either may pass, anytime, with no reason owed. Delivered as EPUB. No DRM.
