A sample:

.
. . .
5. What [are] some of your favorite memories from your childhood?
.
6. What are some of the more difficult memories from your childhood?
.
. . .
8. What did your parents teach you that you appreciate now?
.
9. What did your parents say or do that you found difficult?
.
10. Who is someone that inspires you?
.
11. What do you like us doing together?
.
. . .

It looks like a wonderful list of questions, to me.
.

Some of them will likely be questions you've already asked each other. Many won't be.
.

OF COURSE, it will require truly listening WITH THE HEART when your partner replies! And, of course, it will require HONEST answers by the one answering!
.
Some of the questions get down in the nitty gritty of contributing to a quality relationship where the rubber meets the road. If a couple have resisted facing such issues, some questions might be a challenge. I encourage them to have courage and try those questions anyway. IF they get truly stuck, they can ask for a healthy couple they know to help them get unstuck. Or, they can seek professional counseling to facilitate getting unstuck.

A couple could print out the list and sit down individually and choose say 5-12 questions they'd most like to ask their partner. Then, they could rate those questions 1-3 with 1 = MOST IMPORTANT. THEN, they could come back together and begin the adventure.

I really believe that such questions could greatly deepen most relationships in very gratifying, fulfilling and joy enhancing ways.
