GAMES COUPLES PLAY

(September, 2022) Huffington Post asked people for “Games That Couples Play Together.” Some of the responses:
– “Marriage is about finding that one special person to play ‘who’s going to empty the bathroom trashcan’ chicken with for the rest of your lives.”
– “Our new favorite game in our marriage is where we both lie in bed as still as possible in hopes that the other person will finally give in and take the puppy out to pee.”
– “You maintain a silent competition to see who the dog loves more.”
– “It’s like a game of Marco Polo except it’s my husband shouting ‘WHERE?!’ and I’m shouting ‘IT’S RIGHT THERE!'”
– “My husband & I like to play a game where we see who can get the very last bit of toothpaste.”
– “My husband has been playing a fun game where he doesn’t wash any silverware.”
– “My husband loves to play this game where he’ll set an alarm for super early and then ignore it when it goes off and go right back to sleep while I’m stuck wide awake because he woke me up.”
– “We wash our sheets and then we both pretend we’ve forgotten about it because we each don’t want to be the one to have to put them back on.”
– “My wife and I have this game we like to play, where she picks things up to use them, and puts them down in a totally random place, and I get to go find them.”
