One of the most remarkable questionnaires I’ve ever come across was psychologists Arthur and Elaine Aron’s 36 questions.
Their aim was to bring two people in a lab – strangers in fact – closer together by having them answer a series of questions. But the miraculous thing is that some couples who’ve tried the 36 questions have actually fallen in love!
As in the case of Mandy Len Catron, a Canadian who wrote about her falling-in-love-on-the-first-date experience. Her essay appeared in the New York Times and became a sensation.
It’s been over 25 years since the original study was published and I was curious to hear Dr. Arthur Aron’s thoughts on it. Why do these questions create closeness among two people? Does it have the same effect on men and women? Have they discovered anything more powerful at creating intimacy since their original study? Join me for a surprising conversation on love and keeping passion alive.
