The secrets to a successful long-term union

Our society typically devotes huge attention to the start of a marriage – and particularly to the actual wedding ceremony. But the real challenge lies beyond the wedding, with the long years ahead – and here we are too often left on our own.

This box is a guide to the rest of a life together, containing twenty beautiful cards which lay out the central ideas on how to make a relationship work over the decades beyond the wedding day. It is filled with artful suggestions on coping with what even the most loving couple will face as they build a life together. This set of cards is both a celebration of marriage and a rich source of insights into the skills it demands.

20 cards | 220mm x 158mm

Customer Reviews (4.4 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Victoria ★★★★★

My wife and I pulled this out on our anniversary and ended up talking for two hours about stuff we'd never actually said out loud. It skips the wedding-day fluff and goes straight for the harder, everyday parts of staying married.

Kevin ★★★★★

My husband and I got through about half the deck on date night and didn't want to stop, the questions really dig past the daily small talk into why we actually work. It's rare to find a game that feels less like a game and more like a genuinely valuable conversation starter for the long haul.

Ruby ★★★★☆

Four stars because the focus on what happens after the wedding day is spot-on and led to some real conversations we haven't had in years. The card prompts are thoughtful, though I wish the box came with a few more blank cards for us to write our own questions.
