The two shall become one! These days, couples tend to live
as if they are still single. The individuality in their marriages is so obvious
that sometimes concerned family and friends are forced to ask if everything is
well with their marriages. Your partner is you and you are your partner. I am
not saying you should get stuck to
each other like bread and butter. You guys
should have fun as a couple. Here are some activities you can do together as a
couple.
Praying
It is advisable to
pray with your partner as often as possible and not only when there is a
crisis. Apart from getting answers to your prayers, you stand to gain a lot
when you pray together. Praying together strengthens your relationship. A
couple that prays together enjoys good communication between them. They do not
bear grudges for too long. When they mad at each other, they tend to forgive
each soon since they must pray together without grudges in their hearts.
Eating
While dating, you enjoyed date nights, eating out and just
having fun. Now that you are married, you no longer make a conscious effort to indulge
yourselves. Emotional or communication gap in marriage starts from eating
alone, attending most social events alone, and before you know it the gap widens.
Eating together is another avenue to spend time together. You surely will not
eat with your enemy so why not make out time to eat with your loved one. You
can both prepare the food together and eat. Once in a while, go out and eat,
experiment by trying other cuisines. Spice up your marriage.
Exercising
Exercising together indicates that you care about each
other’s look and health. Go to the gym
together and sweat it out. If your partner is battling with keeping his/her
weight in check, you can show support to your partner by exercising with
him/her.
Planning
There is no limitation to what couples can achieve together
if they plan together. Couples can plan together with regards to their
individual and family goals. When you plan together you will not feel isolated
or be in the dark about your partner’s dreams and aspirations. These days we
see couples on live television that cannot tell what their partners’ career
goals are. Start planning by preparing your family budget, choosing school for
your kids and buying real estate together.
Sleeping
You may ask if
sleeping together is fun. Yes it is. The bedroom is one place where couples are
100% themselves. There is no pretense in
the bedroom. Couples that sleep together hardly keep secrets especially when they are always
having pillow talks before sleeping. Sleeping together reduces your stress level
and helps you fall asleep easily than when you sleep alone.
Bathing
One fun activity a couple should engage often in should be
bathing together. Get cozy in the
ambience of your partner's presence in the
bathroom. You can be rest assured that
your partner will relish this moment.
You may be thinking that doing all these activities will
steal your “Me Time” but actually you can still enjoy your time alone when you
go to the salon, on your way to work and when you attend religious gathering
for married men or women. So enjoy your marriage and have fun as a couple.
Tell us about fun activities you enjoy with your partner.
