Questions to ask · Love · for your Parents or Grandparents

When did you know he was the one?

Why this question matters

How two people met is the beginning of your own story too. Small details, a dance, a letter, a first impression, are the parts that are easiest to lose.

Ask it on a quiet afternoon, give time for the answer, and write down the small details. That is where the story lives.

  1. What was the hardest time you went through as a couple?
  2. What is your favourite memory of the two of you before I was born?
  3. How did you and Dad meet? Tell it your way.
  4. What did you notice about him first?
  5. How did he propose, or how did you decide to build a life together?
