FUN in Marriage
We are so excited to start a new year! It is a fresh chance to build on the foundation of our marriage. It is important to be intentional about enjoying each other's company. We have decided to share with you a few fun things that, perhaps, you have never thought of before. Hopefully, you can begin the New Year with some fresh ideas and plan out some fun things to do together!

Dating
So what you are married? The dating never stopped for us! We plan to try out a few date boxes this year. After our Christmas date with Get Date Box we were hooked. Everyone loves mail and why not invest in your marriage? During the cold winter months of Ohio, we are now looking forward to fun dating more inside the house. We sent the boys upstairs to play and we had a great time!
We also do traditional dating at a restaurant too. It has been hard to date out because we always needed a sitter for the boys. Thank God for sisters who take them off our hands for much-needed fun couple time.
Games
We have always been a gaming couple. We play board games together, card games, sports and TV guessing games. Another idea that we have recently come across is fun mystery boxes to solve together through the mail! We have recently discovered Breakout Games which has a lot of fun activities that allow you to work together. Team building skills are always needed in a relationship and it's fun!
Breakout Games
You have to subscribe for this mystery box that gives you clues to solve together. You then have the whole month to figure it all out as a couple (or family if you really want to involve the kiddos). We are looking forward to our first one very soon!
We would also suggest escape rooms. Nothing like trying to get out of a tough situation together to build your marriage muscles!
Exercise
We really tried to brainstorm about what physical activity (besides sex) that we both really enjoy doing. About four years ago, we realized that we both enjoy riding our bikes together most. We have taken the trails through parks several times. We have even played geographical location games on our bikes!
It is a great outdoor activity that is fun and also increases your patience (when one person gets tired).
Cooking
If you have not spent time in the kitchen with your spouse, you are missing out! Anything that lights up your senses as a couple is romantic. We really like spices! It is so fun to experiment with our taste buds and make interesting, fun dishes for and with each other.
This year, we hope to do a cooking class together with Sur La Table! They have incredible date night options for couples that include an entree and dessert. Heat up or spice up your marriage this coming year!
Marriage is a gift that keeps on giving, but it needs to be nurtured! We hope that you have fun trying these things. Do you have any other really fun marriage ideas? Comment with your fun idea and we will place your name in a drawing to be sent a sweet Valentine's Day gift for you and your spouse in February! Each comment counts as an entry.
