Oliver had been feeling the distance for months. "Amelia and I were experts at being together but completely alone," Oliver said.
"After reading that Reddit post about couples who 'live together but barely look at each other'... I knew that was us. We'd finish dinner and both grab our phones. I gotta say, when I finally admitted we had a problem at 2:47 AM, little did I know what I was in store for.
There are so many solutions people suggest but nothing actually worked." Oliver went on to say, "After the first night playing Connecting™, I was genuinely shocked. I knew it had questions and challenges and so on... BUT, I never imagined we'd go from ten awkward minutes to over an hour of laughing and actually talking. We didn't just play a game—we remembered why we got married!
I've been playing with Amelia for 6 weeks now and 8 PM is our favorite time of day. The phones stay face-down, we pull a card, and suddenly it's past midnight and we're still talking! I can't believe we almost lost this because of screens. I'm never going back to scrolling."
And that's just Oliver's experience. There are over 100,000 satisfied couples just like Oliver and Amelia.
