Everyone has their own opinion on what couples should share – and what they definitely shouldn’t.
But what experience can bring the pair of you closer together than ever before? Reddit asked the question – and the internet responded.
From learning a new language to conquering your fears, here are the top ten things you should share with your partner.
“Learn something new together. Whether it be a foreign language, how to make sushi, knit, paint, etc. Studies show that the feel good chemical is released when you are learning something new and when you learn with someone you subconsciously associate feeling good with that person. So, not only do you learn something new (which is a confidence builder in itself) you bond with your SO on a deeper level.”
“Conquer a fear together. For my husband and I we both had a deathly fear of white water rafting. It brings you closer together, teaches valuable communication skills, and is a memory you can cherish well into your old age.”
“Been with my wife for 17 years (dating and married combined) and we make time to shower together every day. It’s our time away from the kids where we get to talk about our day. I wash her body sometimes, she gets me sometimes. It’s our way of staying connected. We get weird looks from other couples we know that find out we do this for some reason.”
“Go on a road trip. Road trips are so much fun with the right person, and I think it’s also an important relationship milestone. How do you cope when you miss the exit, or you feel sick because he insisted on stopping somewhere that had all you can eat chicken and waffles.”
“Grab a few chairs, some blankets and a few pillows and build a fort/tent, and watch a couple of movies together or play board games. Guaranteed fun times and cuddles.”
“Give each other massages.”
“The rule of 2s.
Every 2 weeks go out for a fancy meal
Every 2 months go away for the weekend
Every 2 years go on a long vacation.”
“Spend a day alone in bed. We watched movies, talked, joked around. It was awesome.”
“Picnics!!! Silently reading side by side, or relaxing and eating in the sun.”
“I tuck her into bed at night. I have every night for 14 years…it’s not just a tuck-in. I climb in, we laugh and talk, I kiss her goodnight and make sure she is snug. We’re both adults yes but it’s important to me that she sleeps well and I feel like doing this reminds her that I love her, will always love her, so she can sleep sound…”
