One cool thing about marriage is that you are always changing and learning something new about your partner. I mean, almost always. We can't be the only ones that get in a rut sometimes and revert to sitting on the couch watching tv each night. Right? Riiight?? Well, assuming that you are one of the happy couples that also does this, I've gathered a few (10 to be exact) things that you and your spouse could do together that is a bit more fun than the same 'ole same 'ole.
1. Make a fort. This is my favorite thing to do! We have fun pretending like kids while we eat popcorn and watch movies from our fort that takes over almost the entire living room! Grab a couple chairs (and an ironing board in our case) Tons of blankets and pillows and go to work!
2. Play a game! Mr. T's favorite card game is Uno and my favorite board game is Clue. You can always try a game neither of you have played before! Ask your friends or family to borrow something they have and try it out! It's also an option in these warm months to go outside! There are plenty of games to play outside! Frisbee, Croquet, Cornhole, Washers, water balloon fights etc. Here are a couple of websites that will help you figure some out: two player card and tile games, easy backyard games, and I'll upload how to play washers for you later.
3. Put together a puzzle.
4. Do chores together. It may sound silly but it gives you great quality time together! Besides, something as boring as folding laundry or washing dishes is a lot better when you have a partner. :)
5. Take a bike ride! This is great if you live in the country - you can see so much scenery! If you aren't able to bike where you live or you don't have one take a walk instead.
6. Cook something together. Really! you might be amazed at your hubby's culinary talent! Don't know what to cook? You can always try Pinterest, Food.com, or Epicurious.com to find some new ideas.
7. Learn an instrument together. Maybe even start a band! Him learn guitar, you learn piano. Or banjo. Or the hurdy gurdy. (that's a real thing). With the power of Youtube at your fingertips nothing can stop you!
8. PILLOW FIGHT! Now this suggestion is fun and might also lead to ... other types of fun. But when is it not exciting to hit someone in the head with a pillow?
9. Learn something/Teach something. Say he plays video games a lot. Get him to teach you how to play too! Mr. T and I play games on the Xbox quite frequently. I'm a whole lot better now than I was when we first got married. You could teach him a thing or too as well!
10. Take a free online class together. It's a lot easier to learn spanish when you have someone to talk to! A few sites to explore is Coursera (currently they have a music of the beatles class - cool!) and Openculture.
There is a plethora of opportunities awaiting you and your love muffin to try.. so get out there!
