Deep Questions to Ask Your Partner About Values

It’s one thing to know your partner’s favorite movie, but understanding their core values is where real connection starts. Deep relationship questions that zero-in on values explore how you both see the world, make decisions, and define what really matters.

Values & Principles Questions

• Do you think that honesty is always the best policy in a relationship?
• How do you define infidelity?
• Do you find it easy or hard to ask for help?
• Do your values differ in any way from the values you saw growing up?
• How do you feel about marriage as an institution?
• How important is living near family to you?
• How would you describe your relationship to money?
• Would you rather work at a company with a good mission and lower pay or make a lot of money and help others outside of work?
• How do you define “a life well lived”?
• How do you typically handle being wrong?

Why Asking These Matters

These questions might seem heavy, but setting time aside to talk without distractions can build massive respect and trust. By knowing what your partner values early on (or relearning it throughout a long-term relationship), you avoid misunderstandings down the road.
