These are some suggestions to help you become a more cohesive team and learn to work well with each other. Feel free to refine these or use them to spark other activities you can do together.
- Find a hobby. You can hold onto your own interests while finding pastimes to work on together. Maybe you enjoy playing sports or going camping. Maybe you want to refinish furniture or grow your own organic vegetables.
- Plan dates. Make time in your weekly schedule to focus on each other. Go out to dinner or stay home and watch a movie. You may also want to double date occasionally with a couple you regard as role models.
- Continue learning. Enjoy some mental stimulation. Sign up for classes at a local community college or take courses online. Study a foreign language or train yourself to become a social media manager.
- Take a trip. Planning a vacation together can be just as much fun as your actual travels. Read magazines and search online for destination ideas. Pick a place where you can relax or satisfy your need for adventure.
- Volunteer in your community. Support worthy causes while you strengthen your bonds. Sort products and make deliveries for a food bank. Staff the front desk at an animal shelter or senior center.
- Explore your spirituality. Build a solid foundation for your partnership. Use reflection and prayer to help you understand your beliefs and apply them to your daily life.
Healthy relationships require love, trust, and teamwork.
Empower each other by working together towards mutual goals. Unity will bring you greater happiness and success.
