You pick what sounds good below.
Escape Room
Online escape room we solve together over video call.
Couch Clues
Each of us gets different clues. We piece them together.
Paint Together
We both paint the same thing. It’ll look terrible and that’s the point.
Wavelength
One-word clues, spectrum guesses. Quick rounds that show how we think.
Gottman Card Decks
Conversation cards by marriage researchers. Questions about each other’s world — not small talk.
Let’s Talk About
1
What do you think of the schedule, sweetie? Does it work for you?
2
Wedding — we don’t have to talk about planning until you feel safe, sweetie. No pressure.
3
Honeymoon — where are we on planning? Let’s pick a destination this week.
Grow Together
Sunday Sermon Together
Sweetie, let’s try something new. Each week, one of us picks a sermon for us to watch together on Sunday. I’ll start this week. We can have our Bibles open, take notes, and see how God speaks to us. Afterwards, we pray a blessing over each other for the new week ahead.
Bible App Plan
We can also start a couples plan on the YouVersion Bible App if you want. There are a lot of good ones. We can pick one together.
