As we go through life with our significant others, it's easy to get stuck in a routine. You go to work, come home, make dinner, watch TV, and go to bed. Rinse and repeat. While there's nothing wrong with having a comfortable routine, sometimes it's nice to shake things up a bit. That's why we've put together a list of seven unusual things that couples should do in a year.
1 Take a cooking class together
There's something romantic about cooking a meal together, but why not take it up a notch and take a cooking class? You'll learn new recipes and techniques, and it's a fun way to bond over a shared activity. Plus, you get to eat the delicious food you make!
2 Go on a weekend getaway without a plan
Pack a bag, hop in the car, and hit the road. Don't plan anything in advance - just see where the wind takes you. It's a great way to be spontaneous and adventurous with your partner.
3 Have a technology-free day
We're all guilty of spending too much time on our phones and computers. Take a break from technology for a day and spend quality time with your partner. Go for a walk, play a board game, or read a book together.
4 Volunteer together
Giving back to your community is always a good idea, and doing it with your partner can be especially rewarding. Find a cause that you're both passionate about and spend a day volunteering together.
5 Have a date night in a different room
Instead of your usual date night routine, mix things up by having your date night in a different room in your house. For example, set up a romantic dinner in your backyard, or have a movie night in your living room.
6 Take a dance class together
Dancing is a great way to connect with your partner, and taking a class together can be a lot of fun. You'll learn new moves, get some exercise, and have a laugh together.
7 Go on a camping trip
Spending time in nature can be a great way to unplug and reconnect with your partner. Plan a camping trip, and spend a few days exploring the great outdoors together.
8 Take a spontaneous road trip
Similar to the weekend getaway without a plan, a spontaneous road trip is a fun way to explore new places and create memories with your partner. Just get in the car and see where the road takes you.
9 Have a "day of yes"
For one day, say "yes" to everything your partner suggests (within reason, of course). This can be a fun way to step out of your comfort zone and try new things together.
10 Create a vision board together
Spend an afternoon creating a vision board with your partner. This can be a fun and creative way to visualize your goals and dreams, both individually and as a couple. Plus, it's a great way to learn more about each other's aspirations and values.
Here are a few more reasons why you should consider creating a vision board together:
It promotes open communication: Creating a vision board requires you and your partner to share your dreams and goals with each other. This can encourage open communication and help you both gain a better understanding of what's important to each other.
It helps you stay focused: Having a visual representation of your goals and dreams can help you stay focused and motivated to achieve them. By creating a vision board together, you and your partner can support each other and hold each other accountable to achieving your shared goals.
It's a fun and creative activity: Creating a vision board can be a fun and creative way to spend an afternoon with your partner. You can bring out the arts and crafts supplies, put on some music, and get to work on creating a beautiful and inspiring vision board together.
It can deepen your connection: Creating a vision board together can be an intimate and bonding experience that can deepen your connection as a couple. It can help you both gain a better understanding of each other's hopes and dreams, and create a shared vision for your future together.
In conclusion, relationships take work and effort to maintain, and these seven unusual things can be a fun and refreshing way to do just that. Whether it's cooking together, taking a dance class, or volunteering, the key is to try something new and enjoy each other's company. So why not give it a try? Who knows, you may just discover a new favorite hobby or tradition that you can enjoy together for years to come
