It’s all too easy to fall into the same old routine as life ticks on. Even outside of the pandemic we’re currently living through, we often end up doing the same things, at the same times, every single day. It’s like Groundhog Day on repeat, and it’s not fun! And new couples activities, how can they help, right?
But maybe that’s something you need to give a real thought about. Relationships need work and by allowing old patterns to cause boredom in your union, you’re going to find that you’re doing more yawning when you’re together, than laughing.
It’s time to put the spark back into your relationship by trying a few new things together and enjoying some couples activities that you’ve never done in the past. Who knows, you might find a brand new activity that you love, or you might find that you end up laughing together so much you forget the point!
# Try a restaurant you’ve never been to before
How many times have you been to the same tried and tested restaurants? Do you end up ordering the same things? Do you sit at the same table? How boring! You might love the food, but how can you be sure that you’re not missing out on something amazing elsewhere? Do some research into new restaurants and make sure you head somewhere new on your next date night.
# Cook together
Creating something together is fun, but when you’re creating something to eat, it can turn out to be a quite sensual experience! Of course, you need to try and keep the stress out of the situation, so do your best not to micromanage or take over.
# Do some exercise togetherExercise can be fun, especially when you’re doing it with someone else. Head outside and go for a run in the sunshine, or join the gym together and try and outdo the other one! Keep the competition to a minimum however, this is supposed to be fun, after all.
# Stargaze in the garden
Is there anything more romantic than looking up at the stars? Grab a blanket and some cushions, a bottle of wine maybe, and some snacks. Lay down and enjoy each other’s company, checking out the stars. Who knows, you might see a shooting star you can make a wish on! This is one of the couples’ activities that fits in the ‘very romantic’ category, that’s for sure.
# Learn a new language togetherChoose a language you’ve both always wanted to learn how to speak and go for it. Download an app and practice together. If you want to make things a little naughty, you can learn a few bedroom-related words and whisper sweet nothings in another language!
# Go on a day trip somewhere localDepending upon your current lockdown rules, why not go out for the day and enjoy a little sightseeing together. Keep it local so there isn’t a huge amount of travel that could make you both tired. Seeing something new together is one of the best couples’ activities out there.
# Talk, like really talkHow often do you get to sit down and have a real conversation? Probably not that often. We’re all so preoccupied with work and the million other tasks we need to do, that we forget to communicate with our partner. Out of all the couples’ activities, having a real conversation is one of the most valuable and will certainly help you to bond.
# Take a dance class together
Dancing is a fun activity, and there are countless different types of dance out there. Why not join a class and learn together? It’s exercise, it’s sexy, and if all else fails, it will be funny!
# Or, just go out dancingIf you don’t want to learn a dance in a class, you could go out dancing together and just enjoy some music and let your bodies sway in time! Who knows, if the music is a little sexy, it could lead to another of the most well-known couples’ activities!
# Do some volunteering together
Doing a good deed helps you to feel good and lifts your mood, so when you do that with your partner, you’re both going to reap the benefits. You could head to a local charity and help out or go to a food bank, the list is endless.
# Go to the zooWho doesn’t love a day out at the zoo? It’s a chance to pretend you’re kids again and enjoy watching the animals and joking around. Choose a sunny day and head out there for a date day.
# Play ‘never have I ever’Have a few drinks, make yourself comfortable in the living room, and enjoy a fun-filled game of ‘never have I ever’. You might learn something brand new about your partner and you’re sure to find yourselves laughing more than once.
# Go to a comedy showLaughter is seriously bonding, so it makes sense that going to a comedy show is one of the best couples’ activities around. Choose a good quality show, perhaps on that has dinner included, and you can make a real night of it.
# Go on a long hikeBeing outdoors in the arms of Mother Nature is something that everyone loves, and it’s also very calming. That makes it a great activity for lovers to do together. Put on your comfortable shoes, some sunscreen, and a grab a bottle of water. Head out into the hills, the local forest, or anywhere there’s a hiking trail, and enjoy!
# Go clothes shopping together
This one could go either way, but if it works, it’s one of the more obscure but fun couples’ activities to try. It hinges on you knowing your partner well and understanding their style. You never know, you might end up with a brand new wardrobe out of it!
