Make the most of your time together

Want to add that zing to your relationship? It’s easy, just spend more time together. Remember, shared experiences build memories and bond a couple together more closely and help in building a long-term, healthy relationship.

• Fun things to do together can include learning something new, exploring nature, being active together, or jointly giving time to a good cause. Examples of learning something new together could include taking a dance class. Hiking, swimming, and camping together are entertaining and can create a memorable experience you can look back on many years later.

• Being active together, whether it’s walking, jogging, or playing tennis keeps you healthy in more ways than one.

• It’s also a good idea to set aside one night a week to do something fun together and make it a date night. Romantic dinners are always a hit.

• Couples with young children often feel that they should spend every waking hour and shower every bit of attention on them. While this is true, taking a few hours off from from them will make you bond together as a couple. Remember, this will provide a good example for your children of how a marriage or partnership should be.
