How Well Do You Know Your Partner?

Earlier this week, more like weeks ago, someone I care about said, “I don’t know you”.

At first, I didn’t know how to respond; it stung. But later, I realised they were right. We’d shared moments, smiles, and silence, yet we hadn’t truly talked. Not about the little things that make us who we are.


It made me think: I didn’t even know their favourite colour or what kinds of movies made them laugh.

A lot of couples, friends are like that. They love, live, and move together, but still don’t really know each other. And it’s not because they don’t care, it’s because life happens. Conversations fade into routines, and people evolve. The things we loved at 15 aren’t always what we love at 32.


That’s where conversation deck cards come in, a simple, creative way to rediscover the person beside you.


Why Deck Cards? Because they help you pause and connect, intentionally. These little cards hold powerful prompts and questions that open doors to new parts of your partner’s world. There are different types too: • Romantic cards – for spicing things up and bringing back the spark.

• Deep conversation cards – for meaningful talks that go beyond the everyday. • Fun & flirty cards – for keeping things light and playful. No matter your mood, there’s always a deck that fits. Check Love Honey.


Creative Ways to Use Conversation Deck Cards


1. Cosy Nights In

After a long week, grab a blanket and a few cards. Turn off the TV, light a candle, and take turns sharing your answers. Let the night flow from laughter to heartfelt moments.


2. Coffee Dates

Bring a few cards to your next coffee date. Ask one while waiting for your drinks. Questions like “What’s one dream you haven’t told me yet?” can lead to surprisingly deep exchanges.


3. Mini Picnics

Perfect for spring afternoons. Pack a blanket, snacks, and your deck. Pull a few cards between bites; nature always has a way of softening hearts and opening conversations.


4. Road Trips or Train Rides

For those long journeys, skip the endless scrolling. Take turns picking cards. You’ll learn more about each other in a few miles than in months of small talk.


5. Digital Versions

Long Distance Friendship? No problem. There are great apps that do the same thing. Couples Questions Game, Cards for Connection, or We’re Not Really Strangers (Digital) are fun and easy ways to stay connected, even when you’re apart. Just search for deep conversation and thank me later.


So here’s the real question: Do you really know your partner?

And perhaps even more importantly, does your partner truly know you?


Because knowing someone isn’t a one-time event. It’s a continuous unfolding, a journey of curiosity, change, and rediscovery. These small conversations, through cards, questions, and laughter, remind us that love is not just about being together. It’s about staying interested.

Just to see You

This morning was chaos in the most ridiculous, beautiful way.

This is for you - Part 2

She’s weak in the knees She pauses 

Tired, stretched, challenged… but still here

The quote is in Yoruba-English.   Ayo: When people talk about resilience, they imagine it as this superhuman ability to never get tired, to keep going without breaking a sweat.
