I believe it is important for couples in any long-term committed relationship to make time for their relationship. In fact, it is dangerous not to.
But couples struggle sometimes with making it happen. We aren’t in the habit. Or life gets too busy, especially if we are working on a career, building a business, or having and raising babies. Sometimes we have the time, but lack clear ideas on what we can do together. And sometimes we think, “We’re good. We don’t need to do that.”
Then one day one of them says they are bored, this isn’t working, and they want out.
Don’t let that happen! Create and protect regular time for your relationship.
Below are some different activities that couples in my Pre-Marital Classes have come up with over the years for fun ways of spending time together. But before you look at my list, create one of your own together…
