EPISODE 69 - Celebrating My Anniversary, Thirty Years of Marriage and six questions to ask your partner

Questions to ask your spouse on your wedding anniversary

The relationship my husband and I have built is far from perfect, but it’s ours. This acknowledgment from us, two couples therapists, has never been more important. We’ve put the work in and will continue to put the work in. And along the way, we’ve leaned into a few key questions that help us reflect and adjust. 

1. How have we changed this year?
2. What obstacles have we gone through individually, and how has our relationship weathered them?
3. What hardships have happened in our relationship? Did we resolve them? Or are there things we still need to work through?
4. What turns me on about you after all these years together? 
5. What do we want to accomplish individually this next year? And as a couple?
6. What three things do I appreciate about you?

These questions are meant to guide you and your partner to define and evaluate your purpose together. There are multiple benefits to asking these questions, and your anniversary is a great time to do so. This is your opportunity to tune in and listen to each other, hopefully distraction-free. You might be pleasantly surprised at the little ways you excite your partner! You’ll also be keenly aware of the strengths your relationship has exhibited and the resiliency you tapped into over the past year. Lastly, these questions are meant to foster gratitude – you can do hard things together, and love isn’t the only thing that your relationship is made of.
