A year into our relationship, my boyfriend and I had fallen into a serious rut. Every day, we were just going through the motions, did our words even hold meaning anymore?
Those two words, so bland and vanilla you’d freely speak them to your geriatric neighbor across the hall, are how we greeted each other every single day we didn’t wake up together. Was this how it was going to be for the rest of our lives!?
Relationships take work. We were committed to putting in the work.
We started small, sending gibberish that started with G and M but were much more playful! And spontaneous! (And stupid- but this is a judgment-free zone!)
Eventually, this evolved to GM photos. They started out pretty obvious…
Guggenheim Museum
Then we started to spice things up…
Morning hellos became a guessing game…
Gummy Mario
Gandhi’s Mama
A delightful inside joke that not only makes me smile, but giggle too.
Gandalf Magneto
Gazelle Makeup
We don’t always get them on the first guess.
General Malase
It’s a tiny morning challenge to solve a GM puzzle and make each other laugh.
One morning after a fight, he send me lovely
Gerber daisies and Mums
I sent him
Gonads, Male
I claimed this was unintentional…that the idea had come from listening to too many podcast episodes of Radiolab’s new “Gonads” series. But….the subconscious is a powerful thing…
Do you want to start your day in a generic way or with a
Grouch Mosaic?
I know there are plenty of girls out there who just want a guy who’ll text them hello every morning. But me?
I’m the type of gal who wants her boyfriend to text her
Glistening Muscles!!!!
If you clicked my click-bait satire title hoping for actual advice and ended up here… we think we’re funny, at least! Actually – not taking shit to seriously and always trying to make your partner laugh are probably 2 of the best pieces of advice I’d ever give anyway. Feel free to steal our dorky as hell morning tradition and leave me a good GM in the comments!
Made me smile. Thank you!

What a novel idea! Love it! …and for the grumpier mornings *Groucho Marx* or *Grim Mudpie* 🙂
Lol… that’s brilliant. Who started it? Also, I tried to think of a good GM but couldn’t post a pic to make you guess, which woulda been more fun. So… Garrigues Medina
Bahaha, I love this! If I wasn’t single AF I’d probably do something equally as silly with my partner ?
My favourite GM is probably a Gin Martini by the way ?
This is such a fun idea and a great way to start the day! These really put a smile on my face. GM, how about Giant Marshmallows. Great post, thank you for sharing! ? xx
