140 essential questions & activities for money, family, desire, and the life you're building. Co-created with love by real couples and marriage counselors.
Marriage Is Human is a toolkit for two people building a life together.
Made with real couples and marriage counselors, this deck holds 140 prompts that help you:
- Visit the parts of a shared life you rarely put words to
- Get playful and practical about touch, plans, flirting, and remembering
- Come back to each other on purpose, once a season or once a year
A marriage holds both the private and the practical: how you talk, how you build, what you carry, how you fight, how you desire, who you become. The questions cover the rooms you live in all the time, and the doors you haven't opened yet.
Twenty Renewal Ritual cards set this deck apart from any other marriage gift. It's a ceremony we've created for a lasting marriage. There are three acts:
- Four opening rituals to settle in and name what is unsaid
- Twelve check-in rituals for the parts of your life that need attention this season
- Four closing rituals to name what you carry forward
Budget an hour, which is plenty, or two if you want to go deep and do all twenty steps.
We recommend couples use this deck before getting married, and once you're married, anytime is a good time to start, wherever you are.
