20 Questions Game
From: The Seven Principles that Make Marriage Work by John Gottman.
Play this game together in the spirit of laughter and gentle fun. The more you play the
more you’ll learn about the love maps concept and how to apply it your own relationship.
STEP 1: Each of you should take a piece of paper and pen or pencil. Together randomly
decide on 20 numbers between 1 and 60. Write down the numbers in a column on the left
hand side of your paper.
STEP 2: Below is a list of numbered questions. Beginning with the top of your column,
match the numbers you choose with the corresponding question. Each of you should ask
your partner this question. If your spouse answers correctly (you are the judge), he or she
receives the number of points indicated for that question, and you receive one point. If
your spouse answers incorrectly, neither of you receive any points. The same rules apply
after you answer. The winner is the person with the higher score after you’ve both
answered all 20 questions.
Play this game as frequently as you’d like. The more you play, the more you’ll come to
understand the concept of a love map and the kind of information yours should include
about your spouse.
