Me and my husband have been struggling with our relationship the past couple of years, since having our first DS. I won’t go too much into the details but we’re in a reasonably good place at the mo. He recently made a comment that watching TV together is supposed to be the lowest form of intimacy. I understand where he’s coming from. Once DS is in bed and we actually have some time together, all we seem to do is watch whatever series we happen to be watching. Not much chance for proper conversation or bonding. I’d really like to try and strengthen our bond and make the most of our alone time and it seems he would too! Just wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice of what we could do instead of TV? Dinners out would be lovely but we have limited people nearby for babysitting so these are only once in a while/for special occasions.
Some thoughts I’ve already had:
Playing board games (any suggestions of good ones?)
yoga - we did this together through an app during lockdown and enjoyed it!
Kareoke
Conversation starters - I’ve seen you can get cards online for this, though not sure if dh might find them a bit naff 😅
Like I say, any other fun ideas or activities anyone’s tried that have helped you reconnect with your partner, would be truly appreciated!
