I honestly think that having something you both love to do together makes the hugest difference in a marriage (or any relationship for that matter). It's great to have things you enjoy by yourself of with other people, but it is so important to have at least one thing you look forward to with each other.
While doing activities together that your spouse prefers is a great way of showing your love for them, finding that one (or more!) activity that you both enjoy is golden. Here are my suggestions for finding an activity for you and your spouse to share:
- TV - setting aside time each week to sit down together and enjoy a show you both enjoy.
- Walking/Jogging/Running - If you are both interested in working out, exercising together is a great activity. Walking is especially nice because you are able to talk while you're working out.
- Reading - If you're both into the same literature it can be fun to read a book together. Either take turns with the book or read it out loud.
- Board and card games - My husband and I love playing games. Finding a two-person game that you both enjoy gives you an easy activity to fall back on when you don't have plans.
- Cooking - On the weekends we love to make our meals together. Working as a team to make your food (or as a team towards any goal) brings you closer together. It's a very relaxing way of getting back in sync with each other and at the end you have dinner!
What are your favorite hobbies and activities to do with your spouse or significant other? How do you like to spend your free time together?
