Skip Bo

Michael and I aren't really big fighters. In fact, before we were married the only thing we ever really 'fought' about was getting married. Mixed in with the advice and snippets of information that people gave us about marriage, we repeatedly heard "if you're in a relationship and never have fights, be concerned". ha!


Fact is, we're just not big arguers and we generally resolve things without a hitch. However, though we are not argumentative, we are pretty competitive and as much as I love games, we have a hard time playing together! If we're on the same team we're usually safe, but if we're on opposite teams, or playing an every-man-for-himself game like Scattegories, forget it!

Anyway, it came out on our recent ski trip that Michael has a love for Skip-Bo and so, once we were home from the trip, I made sure to pick it up while out on a grocery run. Last Saturday when there was no one to hang out with and nothing to do, we busted it out and played for hours in spite of Michael's "Is this such a good idea?" Last night we played again after dinner. So far, though there have been sighs of frustration, there has yet to be any yelling or tears shed. ha! Perhaps this is part of our first year of marriage - learning to play together..... nicely.
