Play the Newlywed Game, BEFORE you get married
I loved watching this game show, and always found it so amusing that many or most of the newlywed players didn't know, or remember, even the most basic of trivia about each other. I think it should be mandatory to play this game until you know all the answers, and then make up more questions and learn more answers before being able to get married. Have a bit of fun with your spouse or partner tonight.
Basic Rules of the Game: For the first round of the game, the husbands are taken off 'stage' and the wives are asked three questions. The husbands are brought back on 'stage' to answer the same questions before the wives answers are revealed. A matching answer is worth 5 points. The second round, played the same as the first, but the wives are taken off 'stage', while the husbands answer three different questions. The first two are worth 10 points, and the third 'bonus' question is worth 20 points. The highest score is 55 points, and the couple with the highest score wins. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker question should be asked to either spouse.
