No, this is not at all a question .. this is an incomplete sentence .. please read the following explication and hope you will understand :
Amar means "to love" .. and the pronomial form amarse means "to love each other" (in this case the reflexive pronoun "Se" is used to indicate reciprocal action of the verb) .. for example .. nos amamos (we love each other).. los esposos se aman (the husband and wife love each other) ,, Jimmy y su perro Leo se aman muchisimo (Jimmy and his dog leo love each other very very much).
and this que is not the inteorragative pronoun qué which is used to ask questions .. the interrogative qué is written with an accent mark over e .. this other que is used primarily as a conjunction to conjoin two clauses or two sentences ..
Now, looking at your sentence .. as this is not the interrogative qué .. we rule out the possibility of this being a question .. "So this is not a question" .. now lets move forward
secondly .. like que is a conjunction "de que" is a phrasal or compound conjunction which also serves the purpose of joining two clauses or sentences ..
So grammatically we can't start a sentence with a conjunction or a conjunction phrase (because the purpose of a conjunction is to act as mortar between clauses or sentences to glue them together and not to beging a sentence).. hence this sentence of yours seems to just be a part of a larger sentence .. for example .. "estoy seguro de que se aman" // I am sure that they love each other ..
now, heed this very carefuly .....in spanish some times the first clause is omitted and .. and you may often hear just the conjunction and the later clause following the conjunction .. for example .. "que mejore" .. now que mejore gramatically is not a complete sentence in itself .. the complete sentence is Espero que mejore .. where peopole usualy just omit the first clause (i hope) and say "que mejore" (that you get better) .. .. in English we don't do that (you will never hear any one saying "that you get better soon" you will hear the complete sentence "i hope that you get better soon") but in spanish this is a common practice to conceal the first clause (which has to be understood from the context) .. so in my opinion your sentence is incomplete and must have another clause or word before "de que" (which perhaps might have been hidden for the reasons I explained you above) .. If you give me the context I may be able to surmise the complete sentence for you .. So do you know what the context is ??
