A study on love went viral in 2015 when Dr. Aron explored the possibility of jump-starting intimacy between two strangers by having them ask each other a set of 36 personal questions. The questions were split into three sets, starting off with mildly personal questions and building up to deeper ones.

Though the questions were designed for strangers to fall in love, many couples who had been together for years wanted in on the challenge too. Now it's time to try out our new set of 36 questions made especially for all you married folk out there. Cozy on up next to your spouse and get ready to open up, reconnect and fall in love all over again.
