#9 Love Lingual
Perfect for couples who have been married for years and years, this game is not corny but covers a wide range of topics to help partners better understand each other. But be aware some cards discuss sex and intimacy, so it may be best to keep the game between just the two of you! *winky face*

The "final card" has players write a note to each other that is exchanged after the game, yet not to be opened until after parting.
#12 Best Self - Intimacy
Reigniting the spark in your relationship can be done with the Intimacy Deck. This card game strives to build a healthier and happier relationship between partners.
