you might want to think about gamification. points, levels, quizes. etcs. Obviously that could go in a bad direction but, if the couple is scored together probably not too bad.
Interesting thought. Do you have a moment to expand on it further?
We've considered the possibility, but for the time being at least, we're aiming for this to be a tool between two people in a couple (or for a single person to use as an "angel on the shoulder"). Gamification requires pitting couple vs. couple within the ecosystem which might be odd for something that's designed to foster healthy relationships.
Or maybe we just haven't hit on the right idea for it yet...
Gameification doesn't need to be a competition, you could make it achievement based.
"Achievement unlocked: stayed in a hotel with a jacuzzi" or "Achievement unlocked: shared a desert"
We're (the wife and I) aren't to the point where we don't do a date night, but even we're starting to forget sometimes how to keep it new and fun like sharing a dessert or holding hands or sharing a kiss on a balcony or ...
Good point. I suppose my hesitation is in the notion of turning a relationship into a monopoly board, but with the right achievements, etc. it might be an interesting proposition. I think we'd we'd to achieve personalization (location, interest, etc.) first, but down the line it's definitely worth a thought.
