In the future, I want to either be the one to care for my spouse at the end of their life or be cared for by my spouse.

As you go through life with your spouse and grow older together, the day will eventually come when one of you has to see the other off.

This question invites you to imagine that future and consider whether you would rather be the one who is seen off or the one who sees the other off.

While the wish to care for your partner at the end or to be cared for is important, it’s also key to think about how the person left behind will live the rest of their life alone.

Consider how you view that: would you feel lonely being the one left alone, or would you feel bad about leaving your partner alone? Which of those feels harder for you?

If you had to be told either the date of your own death or the cause of your own death, which would you choose?

It’s a question of whether you want to know when your life will end or how it will end.

If you knew the date of your death, you could plan how to live your life up to that day; if you knew the cause, you could think of ways to prevent it.

It’s the kind of question that can prompt us to reflect on how we live, and it might reveal each person’s life goals and what they fear.

Perhaps the best approach is to value both perspectives and aim for a fulfilling life while staying mindful of accidents and health.

If you had to date someone who’s careless with either money or time, which would you choose?

This is a question that makes you think about which kinds of major flaws in a partner you could tolerate.

Because being careless with money or time are flaws that directly affect daily life, you can also sense what each person values in their day-to-day living.

Try to vividly imagine life with someone who’s lax in each of these ways, and consider how you’d feel and how it would impact your life.

Some may say that “lax” depends on the degree, so it could be fun to discuss the differences in what level you’d be willing to accept.

If you could buy it with money, which would you choose: a healthy body or free time?

It’s a question that asks whether you would choose health or time, assuming either could be solved with money.

The debate is likely to heat up—some argue that without health you can’t make use of time, while others say that without time you can’t make use of health.

What you choose reveals the feeling with which you live each day and what you value in life.

Would you make the most of limited time with a healthy body, or forcibly increase your time to feel a sense of freedom? It’s a question that seems to ask how you want to seize your freedom.

Which would you prefer: a long but ordinary life, or a short life that’s more fulfilling than anyone else’s?

This question makes you reflect on how you want to live your life.

Let’s pit two extremes against each other: wanting to live a long life even if it’s ordinary, versus wanting a fully satisfying life even if it’s short.

It could reveal differences in how people think—whether they wish for calm, peaceful days or exciting, stimulating ones.

It might also be interesting to have everyone clash over their ideas and find mutual compromises.

Another noteworthy point is the ambiguity of the terms “longevity” and “short life” in the question; discussing how many years each person imagines for those terms would likely liven up the conversation.
