I also wanted to discuss the game in terms of solo players versus those in a permanent in-game marriage.

I might get some flak for this, but I’ll take the risk. Let’s be honest: those who are married actually have fewer advantages than solo players.

Let me explain:

Solo players can create multiple "alt" accounts and pair up with them. They can cultivate a large number of bushes using these alts, saving their own candy while still managing a huge volume of bushes. That translates to a massive amount of garden XP.

To keep things fair, then, give married players the same option—letting "friends" help out with the garden(-specifically, the ability to create bushes).

Alternatively, find a fair way to limit solo players who use a lot of alt accounts. For example, if you’ve just paired up, your new partner shouldn't be able to create bushes for a week. But if you actually get married, you get immediate permission to create bushes.
