About this ebook
How many things would you like to knowbut don'tabout your partner? Do you wish your partner would ask you about your past, your goals, your inner thoughts? When was the last time the two of you shared a dream, a memory, or a fantasy together?
365 Questions for Couples shows you how to get closer to your partner by asking and answering thought-provoking questions on such subjects as:
- Your relationship
- Relationship with others
- Goals and fantasies
- Life experiences
- Memories

About the Authors
Acknowledgments
We would like to thank the following people for helping and inspiring us to write 365 Questions for Couples.
Thank you to all of the fine editors at Adams Media Corporation, particularly Anne Weaver, who helped to whip our questions into shape.
Dr. Beck sends thanks to the following people for guidance and support: Dr. Jacob Kesten, Father Murray, Ph.D, and Dr. Phyllis Meadow, both of my parents, and Stanis, Rachel, and Seanna, who inspired me to do my best.
Stanis Beck would also like to thank Stephen Andrew and Eva Marusak (my parents, who set the stage), sisters Karen and Evelyn (who shared it), Dr. Jacob Kesten (who reframed it), my children Seanna and Rachel, and husband Michael (who enlarged and enlivened it), and to the many clients who continue to refine it.
Seanna Beck gives thanks to Linda Nussbaum, Emily Rawlings, Jen Malloy, Jenn DeVan, Neal Agran, Shay McGillicuddy, Ted Kavner, and Josh Nicotra, the best friends in the world. Thanks to her sister, Ray. Of course, she gives love and kisses to Greg Garrison.
We all give our love and thanks to Perry Nelson, to Kay Godan, who takes care of us and keeps us in order, to Bree McNichol, and to all those who play elemental roles in our lives.
