Fun things to do after you get married

Communicating with your significant other is more than just talking, more than using words. It is also about establishing an emotional connection with each other which includes the use of non-verbal communication.

Non-verbal communication is made up of things like the gesture you make, your body language, facial expressions you use, and the tone of your voice when you respond to something your partner says.

Some fun ways to communicate with each other are:

Play a game of 20 questions

You and your partner can sit down and each make a list of questions, you can choose any topic of things that you would like or keep your questions focused entirely on your relationship. Have a mixture of questions, some that are serious and some that are silly. The more creative you are with your questions the more fun you will have by giving and receiving answers and you will also learn a lot about each other.

You can recreate an evening like the one you had at the beginning of your relationship, where you would spend hours and hours talking to each other and sometimes it would be all night. Make a plan to stay up all night together and ask each other the questions on your lists.

Write love letters or messages to each other.

Handwritten love letters or messages are a great and classic way to let your partner know how you feel. Take some time and write a love letter expressing your love for them and thank them for all the little things that they do for you.

If a long love letter is not what you are looking for, then write short and sweet messages on post-it’s and either slip them into your partner’s bag or lunch box for them to read when they get to work.

If your partner does not have a bag or they do not take a lunch box to work, make a card that is the perfect size to fit in their wallet, write a nice message on it for them to see when they take their wallet out to buy lunch or pay for gas.

Another fun idea is to make your own tradition of having a jar or box where you can leave each other love notes, inspirational quotes or compliments every day.

Start a Blog together

Find something that you are both passionate about and start a blog together, this will give you the opportunity to communicate with each other about something other than the normal day to day issues. Working together on something that you both love will strengthen the bond you have, and bring you closer together.

Give each other some space

In a relationship having some time apart is important to both people involved because relationships need space to grow. It is impossible for you and your partner to be everything that one person needs.

Every relationship needs memories and special moments to stay alive and if all of them are experienced together, your relationship will become dull, boring and you will land up parting ways as you will have nothing new to share with each other.

By giving each other some space you are both able to have some time to keep up with the things you love and you both are able to relax, unwind and spend some alone time with your friends and family. People need to interact with other and different types of people to learn and grow as individuals so that they can bring what they have learned back into their relationship and share those things with their partner.

• Going out of your way to do something for your partner.
• Helping out without being asked.
• Thanking your partner for the things that they do.
• Focusing on the positive things in your relationship.
• Recognizing that the little things count.

Have some fun by flirting with your partner
