Years in. Still finding new things to love.
How do couples keep things fun after years together?
Couples keep things fun after years together by staying curious and doing new things together, even small ones, like playing one card a day of LVRS FRVR (said Lovers Forever), the daily game for two. New questions and tiny missions keep giving you something to discover about each other.
New is the secret ingredient. In a well known study, couples who did a new and exciting activity together reported feeling better about their relationship afterward than couples who did something ordinary (Aron, Norman, Aron, McKenna and Heyman, 2000, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology).
You do not need a trip to get there. A silly dare, a question you have never asked, or a game you have not played in years all count as new.
A few real cards from the game
- Trade your most embarrassing story. Whoever laughs first tells another.
- Invent a secret handshake. Three moves, and you both have to remember it tomorrow.
- Team up against something today: a crossword, a trivia game, the dishes.
How the daily game for two plays
LVRS FRVR (said Lovers Forever) is a daily game for two people in love.
Each morning there is one small card waiting for the two of you. Sometimes it is a question. Sometimes it is a tiny mission. You each play it on your own phone, then you talk about it, laugh about it, and wonder what tomorrow's card will be.
It takes a few minutes a day. It is free to start. And it only starts when both of you say yes, because it is a game made for two.
One tiny thing for tonight
Tonight, do one thing together you have never done before, even if it is just a new snack or a new card game.
