Level 1Warm-Up
First Impressions
What's the weirdest first impression you had of me that turned out to be wrong?
our stage is
Newly-ish
Two to five years in, first drift.
We're Newly-ish. Two to five years in, and we've just hit the first stretch where the relationship stopped running itself. Nobody tells you that part. Everyone talks about the honeymoon and then skips straight to year twenty.
The novelty did most of the work early on. Now we're at the point where we have to actually choose the interesting version of an evening instead of it happening to us.
This is the best possible time to build the habit, because we're not repairing anything yet — we're just deciding what kind of couple we're going to be for the next decade.
What the deck brings to this stage
- A habit worth having before we need one
- A way to keep finding out new things about each other on purpose
- Fun that doesn't depend on being new anymore
