Two gamers but one console
Perhaps you don't see the problem but this is the perfect way to create trouble in a loving family or couple. Why? Because people don't always like the same games and even when they do they can't always play it together at the same time. Which means you have to take turns and that doesn't always work with everyone. So do you need a second console or are you going to learn how to play together?
Sibling rivalry is useful?
You might not expect it but sibling rivalry can actually be useful in the two gamers and one console situation. Because you can try to beat the score of your brother or sister and that can put some friendly rivalry in games and give both of them a chance to play. I would like to add that I'm talking about a friendly rivalry with bragging rights, not the type where you fight and hurt eachother for some lame reason. In a Mario game you can keep it simple with who can beat a level the fastest or with the highest score, but in other games like Halo 5 or Black Ops 3 it can be about who gets the most kills or was MVP of that round. With each game there are different things that you can use to test eachother and play together even if you only have one controller and/or one console with single player games or only online multiplayer games.
Work with someone instead of against him or her?
Instead of fighting who gets to play you can also work together, for example in a game with puzzles you can be the helpful type and help beat a puzzle instead of trying to grab the controller and do it yourself. Especially with couples it's a good idea to work together, because if you fight every day who gets to play then that relationship might not last that long! A little bit of advice though, don't become the irritating person that constantly makes remarks (telling people what to do and how to do it) in a game because that's also a good way to annoy others. There's nothing wrong with some advice, but if you just go on and on how someone should play then you're making it less fun to play!
Isn't it better to just get two consoles?
Sure if you can afford that and even if you can afford that then you really have to ask yourself if you need that. There's nothing wrong with getting two consoles but it's better if you just learn to work with someone else on one console. Besides it's a good thing for kids to learn to share and work with others instead of getting their own console. In a relationship it might be easier to get two consoles but isn't it more fun to sit next to your boyfriend or girlfriend and play together? Well that's how I see it, maybe it's different for you but playing alone all the time isn't as much fun as you might think.
