Hi there everyone! Here is your ‘Couple’s Activity’ for this week: Destination Backyard! (or front yard, balcony, porch, gazebo – whatever works for you).
This is so easy to do it is often overlooked. You can do this on work days and school days. You just walk outside. This is what is so great about it. The TV is inside and you are outside, yeah!
What to bring with you outside, cool water….ahhhh, hot cocoa mmmmmm, or anything in between. Shrimp cocktail, cheese and crackers, fruit plate. Hey, how about a full dinner outside for two?
Because there is no TV outside you can now notice and participate in life. (If you do have one outside leave it off!)
So it’s just you and your partner. Drinks, snacks, hors d’oeuvres, or maybe a full dinner.
Singles, you get to do this also. You probably will find yourself enjoying getting out of the house, that will go on your list of things you want in a relationship. If you’re with a partner, this is a great time to tell each other what you love about each other and what you are thankful for. This is not the time to talk about what’s happening in the news. If that stumped you, if you can’t think of anything to say…… kiss her! Don’t wait to kiss him! just do it. Maybe your mind will go blank and you’ll have nothing to say and you just kiss each other. What could be better?
By doing these ” Couples Activities” you are giving gifts to your relationship. You are cultivating your relationship. Get involved. Like the words of wisdom from Benjamin Franklin:
“Tell me and I forget
Teach me and I may remember
Involve me and I learn”.
Give the gift of involvement to your relationship.
