Every Couple Should Try These 25 Things

6.

Take a day to learn one of their hobbies (I learned Magic for him, he tried out painting for me). It’s a good bonding experience and generates more activities you can do together regularly. Or, if you already have loads of common hobbies, learn a new one together.

7.

Do something physical that requires cooperation. Tandem bike, double kayak, canoe for two—anything that will force you to work together toward a common goal in a playful way. It’s risky because if you’re not good at it together it can be super frustrating, but if you do well, you’ll both feel really smug about your awesome relationship.

8.

Travel. That’s when you really get to know someone.

9.

Play Overcooked. That’s relationship making or breaking stuff!

10.

Go to IKEA. It is the truest test of any romantic bond.
