Couples That Play Together
STAY TOGETHER by Kelly Murray
E
very couple ought to incorporate some fun activities into their relationship. Added fun tends to keep relationships alive and vibrant. It eliminates some of the dull routines that can creep into households and family life. It is not uncommon for couples to lose their sense of loving spontaneity. This can happen when couples lose themselves in their daily duties and family obligations. Most couples don’t set out to neglect their relationship. They just get lost in the shuffle and forget to make each other and their relationship a top priority. If a couple loses their fun time, they must acknowledge it and get it back as fast as they can because fun activities serve as valuable reminders of romantic feelings. Keep in mind, added fun does not discriminate in terms of age. Every age can enjoy some fun outlets because it rejuvenates everyone.
1. Take a class together. It may require a couple to find a common interest. A couples class can be done online or outside. Perhaps a craft class will stimulate the brain while incorporating a new hobby into your life. 2. Take turns making a special dinner every week. Give each other a break and incorporate “special dinner night” into your lives. There’s no need to be a gourmet chef — surprise each other and set aside an assigned cooking night. Allow the inner chef to come out and create a fantastic dinner for your other half. Show off a little cooking talent, and see what you can come up with.

3. Have a special dining out night. Find a restaurant that both of you enjoy. Set out one night a week or month and enjoy your special hot spot meant for two. Incorporate the restaurant outing into your couple’s lifestyle. A romantic meal for two will keep communication cozy and free as it connects you to each other in extraordinary ways. 4. Listen to an audiobook before bed. This is a stimulating and fun way to connect with each other. This will stir up some fun conversations as it fills your head with the magic of new places and stories. This can be for those on a tight budget because audiobooks can be listened to on YouTube for free.
5. Schedule a walk night. Take a short stroll and hold hands as you gradually increase the distance. Set aside a scheduled walk and tell each other your wildest dreams as you gracefully stroll together. Be sure to include some big laughs and funny stories. 6. Start an exercise routine. If you enjoy dance, create a dance and exercise routine together. This can be a private endeavor for two. Make up your own moves, and add it to the schedule. 7. Start a household project. Allow a little couple’s creativity to take over and plan your own project. Remember, projects can be small or large. Anything goes with the couples’ household project. 8. Enjoy an ice cream treat special. Build your own ice cream treat for two, and don’t worry about the calories. 9. Enjoy a couples massage. Find a quality spa, and sign up for a couples massage special. 10. Engage in a few card games for two. Invest in a deck of cards, and enjoy an evening of cards with your other half.
