Fun At-Home and Outside Dates to Bond
Dates counter the ruts couples fall into. They get you out of routine and create opportunities for playfulness, adventure and new memories.
Recreate Your First Date
Revisiting where your relationship began rekindles fond memories and reminds you what made you fall in love. Relax into nostalgia and have fun reminiscing.
Surprise Picnic
Pack a romantic picnic surprise, with your partner’s favorite foods, drinks, blanket and location. The gesture shows thoughtfulness and effort.
Cook Together
Cooking side-by-side provides natural moments for laughter, touch, collaboration, and presence. The end result is a dish you created in intimacy.
Take a Class Together
Trying something new together like art, dance, martial arts, or learning a language brings you into unknown territory and builds connection through shared experience.
Game Night
Play cards, board games, video games or make up your own games. A spirit of playfulness and friendly competition keeps things fun and bonding.
Cultivating Passion and Sexual Intimacy
While emotional bonding builds the foundation, physical intimacy and sex deepen connection. Try these powerful (yet playful) exercises:
The Intimate Pause
In the midst of love-making, take a pause to gaze into each other’s eyes, hearts pressed together, sharing loving words.
This builds sensual tension while affirming your love. Remaining embraced, return to sexual union with enhanced intimacy.
Sensual Love Notes
Leave each other envelopes with sensual love notes detailing what you desire and enjoy about your lover. Be specific about acts, body parts, sensations.
Reading these notes fuels anticipation and sexually charges your next encounter. Discuss your desires openly.
