Well, there’s nothing wrong with date night. I mean, sure you get to talk and chat a bit about each other’s lives, but is really going to an overpriced restaurant for dinner the optimum way to know something about your partner? I know it isn’t. Going to the movies or out for dinner is, as I said before, fine; however, they will not help you form an unbreakable bond between you and your significant other. We know what will!

1. Taking a Road Trip

Road trips are usually where you guys tend to listen to all songs in each others’ playlist! More often than not, the trip up and back can be moreĀ memorable and fun than the destination itself. Usually there is something about the road that triggers old memories thereby generating private conversation. Throw on top of that the weird songs and WOW, you got yourself a partay!!

2. Cooking Together

What is better than experimenting with a partner?! It is sweet, endearing and well let’s admit it, FREAKIN’ HILARIOUS! Whether it be, slipping on a banana peel while making dessert or dumping a pot of sauce over their head, it is pretty unforgettable! The vocal comments, the know-it-all attitude, and well.. the outcome (if you reach any)!

3. Meeting Each Other’s Oldest Friends

While they may not be the closest friends you might have at the moment, but meeting your partner’s old friends is the best way to learn about their roots and hear those archaic stories.

4. Having an EXPLOSIVE Fight!

Believe it or not, it does bring you closer! Even the most conflict-avoidant couples blow up at each other sometimes but it proves to both parties that even though they may disagree over something, they will still find a way to compromise and still love one another. One thing is crucial though, never let an occasional quibble take more than its true size.

5.Ā Agree to Disagree

Sometimes you can’t see eye to eye and that’s okay. There are certain things that guys will not completely get about women and vice versa so rather than constantly fighting about certain things that will leave you nowhere and rather than dragging the argument along too far, just agree to disagree.

6. Shake up Date Night

As the years go by, dates get kind of boring and pretty much predictable. The thought is, do something new; something you haven’t done before or haven’t done in a really long time. This would help you rekindle the spark and helps you make new memories.. Which brings us to the next point.

7. Inside Jokes!

Every couple, along the way, develop a sort of eye contact language with which they can understand what a certain event reminds them of. A great thing about inside jokes is that it always becomes that one little thing that you and your partner only shared.

8. Always Ask How the Other’s Day Went

This is a very good question, it helps you get closer to your partner without feeling like they are being interrogated. Asking how their day went brings you closer to one another through better communication. Whether short or long the conversation may be, it is always healthy to have a conversation with your partner.

9. Working Out Together

Working out with your partner has two main advantages, the first is pretty obvious.. Well, getting fitter. The second emphasizes a point we stated prior, doing more activities together such as biking, hiking or swimming.

10. Celebrate Each Others’ Successes

Always celebrate, even the little things. Celebration provides the opportunity to boost your partner’sĀ ego and reinforce your status as a team, so break out those champagne flutes and start saluting yourselves more often.
