Questions That Get You Closer- From The Book-Finding and Keeping the Love of Your Life: Books: Kevin Leman,Kevin, Dr. Leman

I happened to be looking to reading an older UTNE magazine (November-December 2004) and this book was referenced under a sidebar piece called "7 Essential Questions For Getting Closer". I'll quickly retype as I doubt whether this is available anywhere online. I personally don't subscribe to the notion that you select your ideal mate on the basis of a few questions, but the discussion will be illuminating and helpful in understanding your potential and perhaps your future life partner.

Open discussion of any kind (the deeper sharing) is always helpful to achieving mental intimacy. Or you can do the physical intimacy thing first and start talking about these kinds of questions while naked. If you can't get some soul connection and deeper sharing then with nothing left to hide behind, punt quick, ie for those of you that know football, "quick kick".

Here are the 7 questions.
1. How would you describe yourself as a child between the ages of 5 and 12?

2. What did you learn about women (or men) while you were growing up?

3. What are three or four of your early childhood memories?

4. How would you describe either of your parents? (Note which one the person chooses to talk about)

5. What were your siblings like (as you were growing up)?

6. What's the difference between your ideal self and your real self?

7. How would you fill in the blank? I only matter in life when I _________
