The Love Map 20 Questions Game

5/6/2016

Boneto and I are coming up on 1 year of living together and we're at just over 2 years of knowing each other; our wedding is less than 3 months away! Our story is not traditionally linear.

  • After less than a week of messaging back and forth - and before meeting in person - Boneto invited me to a wedding in Mexico that was 6 months away.
  •  5 months into our long-distance relationship (like, almost 700km apart) ... Pregnancy!
  • After less than a month of living together, and spending most of the pregnancy apart, Olivia was born.

See? Not your typical love story! But we love each other; he's my best friend and my person.

Last night, we started reading the first chapter of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. (I'm into personal development, so why not some couple PD!?). The first chapter is about Love Maps and really knowing your partner. We played a 20 questions game and there were only 2 questions that we couldn't immediately answer about each other.
Interested in seeing where you stand with your partner. Play this game on date night!

Directions
Together, randomly decide on twenty numbers between 1 and 60. Write the numbers down in a column on the left-hand side of a piece of paper. Beginning with the top of your column, match the numbers you chose to the questions below. Each of you should ask your partner this question. If your spouse answers correctly (you be the judge!), he or she receives the number of points indicated for that question, and you receive one point. If your spouse answers incorrectly, neither of you receives any points. The same rules apply when you answer. The winner is the person with the higher score after you've both answered all twenty questions.
