Sometimes we can fall into a relationship rut, where date nights mean lying on the couch and one of us dragging the other to bed. Relationships need to be prioritised and memories need to be made and shared for the flame to keep alight. However, coming up with different ideas on what to do together can be difficult.
That is why we have created a list of 13 unique and fun things to do with your lover, to help you grow and expand your relationship.
Travel somewhere
There is something so romantic about spending some quality time with your partner while travelling. Having new experiences to share and creating memories that will last forever. Having these just between the both of you is one of the highest forms of connection.
Wether it’s a few nights away in a different city or having lunch a couple of hours away from your home town, doing this will be extremely beneficial. Getting into a new environment can create room to be spontaneous and feel excited.
Volunteer together
When you are in a space where you’re helping those in need, a side comes out that isn’t always visible to others. When you can give back as a team, and bring passion and vulnerability to the table, many memories and emotional ties can be created and bonded over.
Find something that you both have interest in and want to make a difference with. Feel united and strong.
Have a board game night
Get out your favourite board games and turn the heat up a little. Challenging each other is a great way to build connection, seeing your partner with some competition behind them makes it exciting.
Wether you’re doing a ‘best to 3’ or playing until your hearts content, this is a really nice way to see each other in a different light and bring some banter, competition and fun to the table.
Explore a hobby together
Wether you both enjoy it, or you’re just exploring something new all together. Hobby’s are great because you can learn and feel accomplished in doing so.
Being proud of one other for the effort being put in, and the feeling of trying something new is an amazing feeling to have side by side.
Give each other a massage
This can be really relaxing and sensual if you let it. Take turns to be hands on and really appreciate when it is returned. Helping your partner to relax is one of the most purest forms of love. Put some calming music on with some candles and essential oils to set the scene.
By doing something like a couples massage, most of your senses are heightened. You can enjoy the closeness and warmth of one another and create some intimacy between each other.
Redecorate
Changing you’re environment can be like a complete change in energy between you and your partner. Wether it’s a bedroom you share, your closet or even your kitchen cupboards – cleaning and redecorating an area with one another can be a really inspiring and enjoyable thing to do.
Not only will you have to decide on placement ideas and plans together, but you also get to make those special touches and personal preferences with each other as well.
Cook a meal together
Making food together can be such a romantic and intimate journey. You are activating the senses of touch and smell and you get the opportunity to communicate with your partner about all the little bits and pieces you do while cooking.
After you’ve gone through the cooking experience together the best part is you get to eat. You are able to appreciate the food that you have both put effort and time into creating together.
Get out in nature
Wether it’s enjoying the sand on your feet and the water through your hair, or hiking through bush or up a mountain. Getting out in nature with the person you love is a wonderful way to share some moments together.
When you’re around nature in general there is a massive ease. Doing this with your partner allows you to feel that together and appreciate what the earth has to offer.
Do something creative
Get you’re hands dirty by doing something creative together. Swap painting pictures or try to draw each other the best you can. Create some pottery or something special for your special person.
Letting out the creative side inside of you and seeing that in your partner can be inspiring and sexy. Seeing them use their mind and heart to create something is a lovely thing to see.
Exercise together
Exercising in general makes you happy. It releases endorphins which makes you feel amazing afterwards. You could try out some cardio together, get some fresh air in with a run or join a new gym.
Not only is exercise fun on you’re own but when you’re with someone else it is a lot more exciting.
Stargaze
There’s nothing more romantic then admiring the stars in the night sky. Get a blanket, some comfy cushions and some yummy snacks and snuggle up.
Laying down in the moment, enjoying the scenery (maybe even seeing a shooting star) can create beautiful and treasurable memories for you and your love.
Talk
Now when I say talk, I don’t mean talk as you do every day. Don’t small talk about what went on for you throughout your morning or the things your planning for the week.
Talk about things that matter, like you’re feelings towards certain topics. Talk about your childhood and experiences throughout life that have shaped you into who you are. Have a real conversation that can add value to what you both already feel towards each other.
To wrap it up
All of the above activities give you opportunity to expand and connect deeply with your partner. Use these as ways to allow the both of you to enjoy each others company and be sure to put in the effort to make it enjoyable and exciting for the both of you.
