Questions for new couples to answer apart

These are nine real questions from Eterna, picked for couples in their first months. Each of you answers on your own, without seeing the other’s answer. Then you show each other at the same time. There are no right answers. The point is to hear how your partner would finish the sentence.

Early on, you learn a lot about each other just by spending time together. A few things only come up when someone asks. These questions ask.

• Swap answers only when you are both done.
