Take a marriage seminar together. Even the happiest couples can strengthen their marriage by learning more Christ-centered healthy ways to interact. Go out for breakfast. A different time of day can completely change how you feel about the time you spend together. Volunteer for the same worthy cause together.
Helping others together can help you understand the power your couple-ness can have when focused in the same direction. Get spiritual together. Visit a beautiful place in nature, a quiet chapel, or some other meaningful location. Hold hands, pray quietly, and see how God wants to meet with you. Get physical. I mean exercise on this one! Hike a new trail together. Get bicycles and go riding together. Go swimming or jogging, or work out together.
Tackle a tough project together. Do it together. A sporting event, clothes shopping, a girly movie, a gun show. What we like to read says a lot about our personality. Each of you read something the other enjoys, talk about it, and see if you can understand why they enjoy it. Try a different event together. Check out a music concert, a car show, a county fair, a tech convention, a play, or a dance festival. Visit some place where people are in need.
The correlation between fun and marital happiness is high, and significant. Here are some ways you can incorporate fun into your marriage:. Play together. Adults need to be playful, too, to fully engage our God-given creativity. Talk about what you each enjoyed doing just for fun when you both were children; then consider doing some of those same activities together now to bring a spirit of childlike wonder into your marriage.
Laugh together. Humor is a vital component of a healthy marriage, the American Psychological Association says, because it helps couples keep their lives in perspective and helps prevent boredom and isolation. There are many ways to laugh together, such as: playing practical jokes on each other, discussing funny stories you learn about from the news, watching comical movies or TV shows together, and laughing at the silly antics of your kids or pets.
Enjoy affectionate touch together. Take advantage of the opportunities God presents each day to express affection to each other through touch: from holding hands like the couple I met in Italy, to giving each other hugs and shoulder rubs. Consider going on dates that encourage affectionate touch — from swing dancing to going swimming together. Cook and eat together. Food can be fun. When was the last time you went on a date together? Not out to the dinner with the kids, or lunch with the family, but an actual date?
