Couples who spend time together tend to have good relationships.
Whether you are married or have only been together a short time, doing fun things will help keep your relationship alive. Spending time together doing something you enjoy enriches your relationship. Do something the two of you have not tried or have always wanted to do. Sharing time in this way will give you a chance to spend some quality time together bonding emotionally and physically.
Learn a New Skill Together
Learning a new skill together is a valuable way to stay connected to your partner. Many cities offer classes perfect for couples available through continuing education from colleges, parks and recreation departments and private companies such as large supermarket chains and dance studios. If you like being active, consider a class for staying fit or a dance class. For the creative types, you may want to consider art classes, cooking and wine appreciation.
Day Trip Getaways
Weekend trips are a great escape for the ho-hum of everyday routines. When the prices are going up many couples choose to stay home. Consider a shorter day trip that will only take you a few hours from home. Hitting the open road for an outdoor adventure is a great way of experiencing the countryside and nature from the comfort of your car. Visiting somewhere you have been is great for reminiscing, or opt for a place you have never seen. Take a camera. You never know what you may see, and capturing the moment on film is something you will savor. Eat at new restaurants or bring a picnic basket filled with foods and a cooler of drinks.
Sporting Activities
Couples are staying more active than ever and enjoy activities that get them out doing things. Exercising together has many benefits from quality time together to mental and physical well being. According to Spark People, couples that work out together are more likely to reach goals. Getting praise and encouragement from your partner is a great motivator. Miniature golfing, bowling, biking or horseback riding are activities perfect for two. If you like water sports, consider renting a boat or a pair of Jet Skis for the day.
Theme Nights
Plan a theme night built on related activities. If Italian food is a favorite, it makes an easy theme that provides plenty to do. Let your mate help in the preparation for your night. If your budget is slim, you still have many options for an evening to remember. Decide whether you will eat out or cook at home. Cooking at home allows you to experiment with new foods and in some cases may be less expensive. Takeout food is another alternative to those who do not cook. Many party suppliers have Italian-themed party d cor and candles for your table. Purchase a CD of Italian music to set the mood. After dinner, plan on watching an Italian film.
