    This is a fabulous way to add a more social element to date night. Making new friendships together really cements your romantic connection.

  5. Take a martial arts class together

    If they didn’t do the dishes again then a great way to release some tension in a relationship is to take a martial arts class! This is a great chance to technically beat each other up without anyone actually getting injured.

  6. Shop for each other

    This is a great way to make a normal shopping trip a little more interesting. Not only does this help us break out from our usual day to day style it’s a really nice way to learn more about your partner’s likes.
