We had a fun time last night!! My mom bought this game from Family Life titled Spous-ology and she invited all the sisters, husbands, and boyfriends over for a rowdy night of game-playing. There were five couples in all; Mom and Dad, Christine and Caleb, Allison and Drew, Courtney and Jeremy, and Jon and I. Now granted, neither Courtney nor Allison is married, but we figured they could play with their boyfriends.
I’ll give you a quick rundown of the game, its very similar to the Newlywed Game that’s shown on TV. First the girls are given a question, such as: “If your husband were to call you a fruit, what would fruit would it be?” And then you’re given a multiple-choice answer:a) A kiwi – because you’re unusual and unique
b) A peach – because you’re soft and sweet
c) A cherry – because you’re delicious but tart
d) An apple – because you’re simply a classic
Each wife holds an A, B, C, and D card, as does the husband. The wife selects the corresponding letter that she thinks her husband would answer; and the husband selects the same. Then each holds out the card and if they’re answers match, they win a point. And then the process is repeated by the guys!
Questions cover subjects such as romance, stress, house and family, and finances. There are extra credit points and penalties to be paid. Needless to say, we had a riot!! And now for the winners…
Yes, that’s right. One of the unmarried couples, Courtney and Jeremy, took home the $25 gift certificate to a local restaurant. But in my defense, there was a tie-breaker and Jon and I lost in the lightening round. I can’t believe Jon thinks it would ONLY take me an hour to get ready for a formal evening out. Nice try, Jon! At least we got the fruit-question right. Love, The Cherry

How fun...and what a great idea! I'm sure you'll win next time. Courtney and Jeremy are sure a cute couple!
Looks like a blast! I will have to check out that game! I'm always looking for another fun game to play with friends!
that's awesome--my parents got us the newlyweds game for christmas and we played with another couple, it was one of the most fun (and funniest) nights we'd had in awhile! that's awesome you all got to do it together!! :)
Sounds like so much fun!! I may just have to buy that game!! I asked Erik the fruit question, and we guessed the same. I'm a peach! Fun!
Fun!!
Jon just knows as a mom of 2, you've got skills! Therefore, he is confident that you could get ready for a formal event in less than an hour with no interruptions ;o)
It sounds like so much fun! I love how you and Jon wore matching colors - united unto the end, yes? :)
I may look into this game for a rousing evening with my married brothers!
I've never heard of that game, but it sounds like a great one for family and friend get-togethers!
OOOOO How fun! I need to get that game. Glad you got a chance to have a fun time with other adults! I'm sure it was a relief from your 'mom' duties!
Have a blessed week, my friend.
Oooh, that sounds like such a fun game! I will keep it in mind for future couples nights!!
And too funny - you sound competitive like me! (In a fun-loving sort of way!!)
Lol!!
This game is great fun! My siblings and my parents and their spouses all played this last summer when everyone was down for our daughter's wedding. Of course, my husband and I won - maybe because we've been married longer than anyone else who was playing!
