Anniversary Games for Couples
After a few years, the risk isn't running out of love. It's running out of questions — assuming you already know all the answers.
Long-term couples tend to operate on a cached model of each other, updated rarely. The model was accurate once, and much of it still is, but people change quietly and nobody announces it. Anniversary occasions are a natural moment to refresh it, and structured prompts do that better than 'so how are you feeling about us', which almost nobody can answer cold.
Do it before the meal, not after. Once you're both full and tired the conversation tends toward logistics rather than anything real.
How to run it
- ✓Ask about now, not just the beginning
- ✓The nostalgic cards are the warm-up; the present-tense ones matter more
- ✓Alternate who answers first so it doesn't become an interview
- ✓Works as well on a couch as at a restaurant

Frequently asked questions
What should couples do on their anniversary?
Something that involves talking to each other rather than sitting beside each other. A nicer version of the usual dinner is pleasant but rarely memorable — anniversaries people recall tend to involve a conversation they wouldn't otherwise have had.
