10 Things Every Couple Should Do Together

If you’ve been dating your partner for more or less long time, you are probably running out of date ideas. You’ve already been to all the restaurants in the area, watched all the movies of the season and walked around all the possible parks. So here I am to help you keep your feelings fresh and strong with this list of 10 couple activities that will bring more diversity to your dating routine. 

Take bikes for rent. Walking together is nice but riding bikes is much more fun. You can chase each other or make a small trip to the beautiful place that was usually out of your way. Don’t forget to wear helmets and be careful — we don’t want your date to end up in the first-aid station. 

Eat! This time, skip your favorite restaurant and cook something unusual at home. Or choose the restaurant with the cuisine you’ve never tried before and order their largest sampling set. Or even go for a gourmet trip to visit the countries with the tastiest food. Enjoying food together makes your ties closer and that’s just tasty! 

One more first date. Do you remember the moment you first met each other? When was your first date? Where was your first kiss? If memories are starting to fade, it’s time to recreate your first date and bring those first emotions to life again. Wear the same clothes, go to the same places or try to act like you’ve just met — it’s funny and very romantic. 

Travel together. Taking a trip together can show you the things about your partner that you’ve never known before. The best thing is to take a road trip — if you can stand each other for a long time stuck in one car then you will definitely go through any other obstacles. If you are not into driving a car, take a plane and go as far as you can even if it’s just the nearest city. All that sightseeing things are exhausting sometimes but not when you are with your crush making selfies in every corner. 

Las Vegas! Going to Vegas can be too expensive so start with the real money slots in an online casino. Start with the small bets and if you like it and get the winning, then start arranging your Vegas trip. I was once witnessing a couple playing online real money slots together and it was just adorable. Even though the girl was playing casino games the first time, she got very excited and looked like the real gambler, asking for bonus rounds and free spins and praying for the 3 Scatters set. Try this and you’ll quickly understand who of you is more of a gambler. 

Just two of you. Today, when we are hardly taking our hands away from our smartphones, it’s very important to unplug from time to time. Make a dinner, turn off your smartphones and laptops and just talk to each other without any distractions. Do this at least once a week and you’ll quickly notice the positive changes in your relationships. 

Movie marathon. This is hands down my favorite couple activity. Prepare A LOT of tasty snacks together (I’d go for nachos, guacamole and small sandwiches with homemade lemonade), choose the movie you both like and start your movie marathon. The best thing is to choose the long franchise like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings so you can spend the whole weekend cuddling in bed in front of the screen. 

House renovation. If you are already living together, take care of your house or apartment and look how funny it is. Start from Ikea trip to choose the new storage boxes or pillows and end with painting the walls. And don’t forget cleaning all the mess you did together! 

Beach day. That’s a nice option for the couples living not far from the ocean, river or at least a small lake. Spend the day on the beach taking sunbaths, rubbing sunscreen into each other’s backs and chilling in water. Or go to the pool if there are no natural water in your area. 

Do sports together. It is a perfect way to spend time together but only if both of you like physical activity. Get the gym subscription (they often make discounts for couples), go for a morning run or play tennis on weekends. A little bit of competition will never hurt  

So this is my personal list of couple activities to brighten your days and freshen up your relationship. You can make your own and add a new activity every week or month so you’ll never get bored together. Don’t hesitate to share your ideas with me and maybe I’ll add them to the new list!
