Gameplay
There are three married couples answering questions about their spouses to win cash. Each team began with $200 of bankroll

Round 1
The wives were sent offstage and their husbands asked the questions. After completing the questions and answers, the wives returned and attempted to match the answers given by their spouse. Prior to revealing the answer, the wife had to wager an amount between $10 and their entire bankroll based on her ability to provide the matching response.

Round 2
In Round 2, the gameplay was similar but the husbands were sent offstage and the wives gave the answers to the questions. They were asked a different list of questions.

Bonus Round
Each of the couples competed to predict to write love notes to each other. A template letter was shown to the husbands and they had to write down how they felt about them. The wives had to match them. If they made a match, they recieve $100. The process was then reversed and each correct match from the husbands recieved $200. The couple with the most money at the end of the round $1000 plus whatever they had in the game. If the game ended in a tie with two or three couples, the $1000 was split between those couples. If any of the couples matched all the words, they won $5000.
