20 Things To Do With Your Partner Before Marriage

The activities we do together with the loved one help us to strengthen our relationship, to know each other better, to set our limits, and even to love each other more. Marriage means more than an act or a covenant, it means to trust, love, sex, friendship, respect, conflicts of all kinds, help, commitment, the authenticity of partners, relaxation, fun, and the list goes on.

And one more thing… The marriage between two people who love each other does not have to be the same as the parents or similar to any other couple. After all, each individual is unique and if we are unique in our way and the couple has its dynamics and beauty.

Here are some activities I suggest you try before you say the most important part of life.

1. Try to make a puzzle of more than 1,000 pieces together. (It doesn't matter how long it takes you to finish it, but to get to put the last piece together).

2. A photo session will turn you into an unforgettable memory, but training and organizing it will help you get to know each other better.

3. Organize an evening with friends where in addition to relaxation and goodwill to experience the role of hosts.

4. It is mandatory to experience the challenges of an escape room game in two. You can still try this game at the level of 6 people, even if it's just you 2. It's important to overcome the challenges of the game together.

5. At an exit it's time, try to eat the same pizza together from the needle and drink from the same glass with different straws. (Not to save money, but to observe us later and to adapt our needs to the context of the couple.)

6. Do not miss a suitable seat at the Observer! We tend to "limit" our meetings to useful and usual activities, which brings the couple, over time, to routine.

7. Even if it is not a strong point for both partners, it is important to cook together. Not trivial things that are easy to do, but more complex ones that require time, attention, and teamwork.

8. Experiment with funny games: Taboo, 5 seconds, Jenga, etc.

9. Experience how fair riding sessions are. The relationship with horses and outdoor walks will help you discover and experience new things.

10. You need to experience the anxiety spontaneously and you would do well if one morning, after waking up, you choose to drink your coffee in another city.

11. The adoption of a pet will help you to organize, to take responsibility more efficiently.

12. Plant at least one tree.

13. Make bets whenever you have the opportunity, and then honor them.

14. Experiment with at least one hobby and deal with your partner. But that means learning to give in and, of course, to learn new things.

15. A nature hike in two is a beautiful experience, but also a suitable "moment" in which we can experience it peacefully in two, without it being harmful.

16. Even if they seem to be limited in terms of time, they are simply stressed, they can experiment with dance classes in pairs and that should not be to move harmoniously than when I am on the dance floor, but also because the dance itself comes as a form of communication and externalization of emotions and feelings.

17. Holiday planning is very important for the couple because we have to make choices at every step: from the destination, to choosing the right clothes and to planning the itinerary.

18. Another exercise that I propose to you is to go where you want to go outdoors and, in turn, to experiment: to blindfold yourself and offer your partner the opportunity to guide. This exercise would aim to consolidate trust in partners, but also to reduce our desire for control.

19. Propose that during a day instead of communicating through messages on WhatsApp or Messenger to send you songs, pictures, and quotes, so that you can communicate what you want to your partner. It's fun and breaks the routine.

20. Make your own "to-do list" in two, with everything you would like to experiment, visit, do in the next 12 months.
