Gameplay
Three newlywed couples competed in this nine month old game show. They were asked questions about their relationship (each other). The couple were all given a bankroll of $200 to start; they bet anywhere from $10 to their current score on each question. Each correct match added the wager, but each incorrect match deducted the wager.

Round 1
In round one, the wives were secluded off-stage while the their husbands answered questions about their wives.

Round 2
In round one, the roles were reversed; meaning that the husbands were secluded off-stage while the their wives answered questions about their husbands.

Round 3 (Love Notes)
In the third & final round of the game, all three couples wrote a series of "Love Notes" to their mates. Each one had blanks in them, and it's up to the spouses to fill them in with the right words previously given by the first spouse. Each match made by the wife was worth $100, while each match made by the husband was worth $200. Any couple who had matched all the answers in this round won a total of $5,000. All couples got to keep the cash, but the couple with the most money won a $1,000 bonus.
