Beloved is a ritual game of romance for you and your partner. Like love, it is a game of endurance, appreciation, and continuous renewal. Each year, build a book of moments by journaling about the tender mundanities that fill a life lived together. Store each moment by cutting lengths of red thread and keeping them with your book. Once a year, on your anniversary, share your book of moments with your partner, weave a vow from the threads of your appreciation, and exchange them to begin the cycle anew.

Beloved is a game played at all times, but its yearly renewal takes an hour or two to share with a partner.
