There is nothing wrong with couples having different likes and dislikes
based on their unique personalities, experiences and talents. It would be a
serious mistake, however, for each of the couple to assume that every moment of
free time should be relegated to their own interests. When was the last time
you thought about your partner as your friend—someone you enjoy spending time
with and with whom you can engage in mutually satisfying pursuits? If people
have a firm grasp of their roles as partners, lovers, or parents, but fail to
understand what it means to be friends, they are missing a key component of
relationship.
Everyone could use a hobby. After all, hobbies provide a
great sense of purpose and fun at home. It is an awesome way to pass time and help
bring you closer as a couple. Developing common interests and hobbies can
decrease conflict in relationships and strengthen the idea that you and your
partner are a team. There are great activities, which can help you deepen your
sense of intimacy, connection and friendship.
Here are a few activities you could develop and share with
your partner at home:
- Taking a walk
It is a great way to recharge your relationship, it returns
you refreshed and invigorated and hopeful that you can establish new patterns
to avoid being sucked back into the humdrum of everyday living. However, because
of the lock down, with your partner you can take a short distance walk near your
home.
- Jogging
For partners who are in shape or trying to get there, jogging
can be exciting and provide time to bond together.
- Yoga
Yoga encourages mindfulness, which in turn allows for deeper
emotional connection. In addition, it is great for your body and easy to
practice at home. It involve sharing and chilling to your favorite music.
- Music and Dance
Even if you do not consider yourself a great dancer,
learning a new style of dance together can improve teamwork. In order to master
a new dance move, you have to work together and be responsive to your partner. Learning
together will provide a way for you to not only learn a new skill, but practice
making something beautiful together. A friend of mine taught me some basic
Salsa dance; it is the best dance style to try with your partner at home. You
can find Salsa dance videos from YouTube.
- Outdoor activities
Enjoy the great outdoors activities and test your limits
together. This will boosts the confidence of each of you, while also improving
trust, as you have to trust your partner with your life. Spice things up by
getting out of your daily comfort zone. Do something that conquers your fears
and gives you an adrenaline rush. This will help you create lasting memories
with just the two of you.
- Photography
If you have a great camera or a phone, it is time to be
creative about capturing your lives together. It is fun to take amazing photos
or videos while at home.
- Charity
Volunteer together for a charity near and dear to your
hearts, like donating face masks and food to the vulnerable households. This is the
best choice because not only does it bring you closer together by spending time
doing a meaningful activity, but also it provides gratitude and perspective
when you give back to an important cause.
- Appreciate Art
Absorbing a little culture together can be one of the most
exhilarating hobbies for couples. Whether you are in the city or upcountry, try
to appreciate new arts together. Learning about different cultures together
will help you become a more enriched partners.
- Cycling
Most people I know are into cycling these days, being
able to ride distances with your partner enables the two of you to exercise and
share the experience of being together in a different environment. Take
advantage of a beautiful ride in your neighborhood.
- Sex
Another activity is SEX; you get it. If you are romantically
involved then this is one of the hobbies; you are probably already doing. However,
the next time you engage, keep the benefits at the top of your mind. Like
exercise, sex can be very much a hobby. It burns calories, makes you feel
great, and is one of the best ways to bring you closer together, both physically
and emotionally. Make a commitment to setting aside time each week to try new
things, experiment, and maybe even spend all afternoon in bed.
- Meditation
When you meditate together, it encourages balance, peace and
harmony. It is as beneficial for your relationship as it is for your mind.
- Gaming
Most people say gaming is left to bachelors. Research shows
that playing games can reduce stress, and if you find a game interesting for
both of you—whether it involves race cars or conquering each other on the
battlefield—it can be an awesome way to relax and unwind.
- Self-care
Treating yourself together can be the perfect way to relax
and recharge. Figure out a self-care routine that works for both of you, and
regularly set aside time to indulge in to. Try the regular side-by-side foot
massages. Learn how to oil each other up, hit pressure points, and improve
sexual energy between the two of you.
- Indoor designs
Arranging the house, painting the walls, hanging favorite
wall charts and photos, designing a room, or building something is a great way
to be together while working on a common goal you can both feel good about.
Just make sure that the project you take on is a manageable one in order to
ensure the work you are doing together stays fun and does not get too
stressful.
- Solving puzzles
This hobby has many benefits and is easy to do no matter
where you are. Crossword puzzles encourage physical closeness and intellectual
stimulation. There is lots of laughter when things go awry.
- Gardening
Gardening together will help you grow and create something beautiful.
It gives each partner responsibility and is an activity to get you outside
together away from all other distractions. Whether it is planting flowers or
growing a vegetable garden, it will help you grow as a couple. This activity
works for those who owns a garden.
- Raising kids
Having and raising children is one of the most bonding
experiences for couples. Being a parent ups the importance you feel as an
individual, and knowing that you and your partner are mom and dad, or dad and
dad, or mom and mom really creates a team spirit unmatched by any other hobby.
- Cooking
Who does not love eating? Cooking together is a fun and
sensual way to reconnect; spending time in the kitchen creating a meal that you
both have planned and shopped for is a great couple’s activity. Make it a
playful and fun evening using fresh ingredients, wine, and music. Creating
something delicious together puts you in a great mood.
- Movie
Having a movie night with your partner at home during this
pandemic is a great way to spent time together. Watching your favorite movies
is an easy and inexpensive recreational activity. Movies strengthen emotional
bonds, build tradition and promote family togetherness.
Finally, whatever you do together, do it with a loving heart and a cooperative demeanor. Be creative, be polite, have a good attitude, complement one another and be affectionate—hold hands, cuddle and steal kisses.
