Love-map questions from Question Cards

Gottman Card Decks Style Questions

Gottman Card Decks is the search for open questions that map a partner’s world: stresses, joys, people, and the meaning under a week. This Question Cards list stays in that spirit — specific, kind, and useful for couples who want to know each other on purpose.

There is no right answer and no diagnosis here. Ask, listen, and write nothing down unless you want to. When you want another open card, play these in Question Cards — free on iPhone and iPad.
