A study has revealed the top 20 activities you can do with your partner to get to know them better.

The research, undertaken by Hasbro Gaming, polled 2,000 Brits to see what they have done with their partner to understand them more.

Apparently, two in five people believe you can discover more about someone's personality by playing a game.

It also emerged that 20% of people think you only know who your partner really is after spending your first year together - with one in seven thinking it's actually after five years.

According to the research, a third of people made more effort with their appearance to try and impress the other person in the early days, and a quarter of people think they were more forgiving when the relationship was first blossoming.

Only half of people thought their partner was completely open with them, and over one in 10 people think they still have a lot to learn.

Three in 10 even admitted to keeping certain parts of their personality a secret.

Shockingly, a whopping seven in 10 people actively dislike something about their partner's personality, with one in five people believing that it's only revealed when you actually start living with someone.
