  3. Where do you see this relationship going in the future? What sort of timeline do you expect?

  4. How do you each show you are committed to the other?

  5. Do you believe that one of you is more committed than the other? What indicates to you that there is a difference? How will this affect how your future together plays out?

  6. How have the two of you made important decisions together in the past?
