"7 Entertaining Methods to Enhance Intimacy with Your Lover"
In the pursuit of maintaining a vibrant and fulfilling relationship, it's essential to keep things fresh and exciting. Several experts have shared their insights on activities that can help couples strengthen their bond and rekindle the spark.
Certified Imago Relationship therapist Lena Aburdene Derhally suggests cooking together as a team-building activity. Not only does this activity promote collaboration, but it also provides an opportunity for couples to enjoy a delicious meal together.
Psychotherapist Susan Lager emphasises the importance of activities that foster sharing, teamwork, and open, expansive conversations. Lager encourages couples to ask each other open-ended questions once a week, helping to enhance intimacy and connection. She also suggests taking turns creating mystery dates, which can help maintain excitement and connection in a relationship.
Lager also proposes the "jar exercise," where each partner has their own jar of different activities to maintain novelty and surprise in the relationship. This could include anything from trying a new restaurant to taking an impromptu road trip.
For those seeking a more creative approach, Derhally suggests considering activities in the arts, such as taking dance, improv comedy, or art classes together. Robyn D'Angelo, a licensed marriage and family therapist, goes a step further by suggesting throwing a PJ party to bring some fun and relaxation into the relationship.
Technology can also play a role in spicing up your relationship. Lager mentions using technology for creative ideas, such as playing MASH online with a partner. Another unique suggestion from D'Angelo is using the app Karaoke Anywhere as a fun way to serenade a partner.
Research indicates that sharing novel, highly exciting experiences with a partner can significantly improve a relationship. These experiences activate the brain's reward chemicals of dopamine and norepinephrine, mimicking the factors present in the early stages of falling in love.
While the researcher who invented the "Jar-Exercise" to reorient couples’ collaboration towards a new and surprising event and improve their connection is not identified, the exercise's effectiveness in fostering connection and excitement in relationships is undeniable.
In conclusion, maintaining a vibrant and fulfilling relationship requires effort, but that effort can often include having a great time. By incorporating these expert-recommended activities into your relationship, you can help keep the spark alive and continue to grow together.
