6 Ways to Hang Out With Your Sweetie

8/27/2015

Date night isn’t the only way to spend time with your sweetheart! There are plenty of conventional, and maybe less conventional ways to get some quality time together. In fact, you're probably already spending more time than you realize each week doing various activities that could be done with your spouse! Just think about how much more fun those activities would been if that special someone was right there by your side.

Date night isn’t the only way to spend time with your sweetheart! There are plenty of conventional, and maybe less conventional ways to get some quality time together. In fact, you're probably already spending more time than you realize each week doing various activities that could be done with your spouse! Just think about how much more fun those activities would been if that special someone was right there by your side.

If your schedule is feeling a bit tight, then try out a few of these ideas to maximize your time with your spouse. These are 6 great ways to make sure you get more time together instead of getting caught up in the humdrum of daily life. 

1. Do the housekeeping together.

Housekeeping is a bit dull and mind-numbing if you ask us. However, it can also present a great venue for chit-chat and relationship building if you use it to your advantage. Cooking the evening meal together, standing side by side while you do the dishes or getting a little dirty in the garden together can all be lovely ways to spend time with your spouse. You might have to shift your mindset a little (it's not just about accomplishing the task at hand, but the experience you're sharing together), but if you do, these can be great ways to nurture your marriage.

2. Have breakfast together at a café before work starts. 

Squeeze a little time into your day by getting up early and heading out for breakfast before work - or even make a special breakfast together at home. If that’s just not possible, try and have lunch together instead. I guarantee you’ll head to your desk with a smile on your face afterwards!

3. Take a shower together.

Save water! Shower together…it's efficient, and fun!

Just think about how much more fun those activities would been if that special someone was right there by your side.
4. Walk the dog together. 

It's one of those things you need to do on a daily basis and it can either become a chore or something you genuinely look forward to. If you do it with your spouse, then it can present a great opportunity to just talk, think, laugh, plan, and get your heart rate up! It doesn't have to be long, just consistent. Or, if you don't have a pet for an excuse, just take a short stroll together hand-in-hand, around the block.

5. Go on that business trip together and extend it over the weekend (i.e. a romantic weekend get away!).

Perhaps your work takes you out of town from time to time. Try letting your spouse tag along where possible (we know this is easier said than done). Obviously, they probably won't be able to join you for work related activities, but hey, even if they're just there for the evenings it can make for a much more enjoyable trip. Better yet, try extending your stay over the weekend and turn it into a mini getaway! You don’t have to go far, just get out of your usual environment and make sure the weekend is devoted to just the two of you. 

6. Exercise together

Exercise... some people love it, others hate it. But, we all need it! So why not grab your spouse by the hand and do it together! You can run, walk, hike, bike, swim, row, jump, skip, lift, whatever! If you're feeling a bit more adventurous you could even go dancing (Zumba anyone?) to work up a sweat! While you're building those muscles you can also build your marriage!

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you. If you need advice or want to win your ex back, try this: [email protected] copy and message on the following ( [email protected] ) It will change your mentality and get you what you want.

EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET EX HUSBAND/BOYFRIEND OR EX WIFE/GIRLFRIEND AND CURE HERPES AND INFERTILITY THAT WORKS WITHIN 24 HOURS.

Contact Doctor Odunga at [email protected] OR Whats App/CALL +2348167159012

I got my ex husband back to me and also got fertile and gave birth to twin girls after 12 years of marriage.
When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor Odunga and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at [email protected] and later he gave me his Whats-App number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. My husband and I reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant. Presently I am happy to say I am the mother of twin girls and this is ALL THANKS TO DOCTOR ODUNGA. I came online to say this: If you need help, I believe you are saved with this man.

Contact his email at [email protected]

OR Whats App/Call +2348167159012 and you too will give a testimony too to help others

HOW HACKERSTEVE HELPED TO RECOVER MY CRYPTO: Indeed, the Hacker Steve recovery team lives up to their reputation! I spent $320,000 in bitcoin with a fraudulent investment business. I was amazed to see my dashboard showing that deposit had increased to almost $420,000 a few weeks after I made it. As I tried to withdraw the money and it was denied. I kept emailing support multiple times, but they never responded. I began considering ways to reclaim what was rightfully mine. I came across people on social media who had also fallen prey to a similar investment scheme and had their money successfully recovered with white hat hacker. I emailed and within hours, my funds were recovered. white hat hacker. specialists are astounding. Try white hat hacker services today if you need to get your hard-earned money back from scammers. Email via [email protected] more information about their services.








I must thank [email protected] for his smooth and professional work. It was only three days after I reached out to him that my bitcoin was restored. I lost almost $10,000 worth of bitcoins unexpectedly about a week ago. Woke up to an empty bitcoin wallet with no idea how the bitcoin left my wallet. I was almost losing it. I went on research and found a plethora of good reviews about [email protected]. I followed my instincts and decided to contact him while still in doubt. But he had it fixed in less than 3 days. He’s a legend in this game. Contact him for any related services via [email protected]

My partner and I have been together for 12 years but we broke up 3 years ago after our fight over his cheating habits which they all say it's not their fault but I was the one getting hurt. I was upset over the whole issue that I had to call for the separation but I felt really bad. The separation really had effects on my daughter who had to live away from her father. I had to think of a way to settle things out and find a solution to my husband's behavior. I found out about a spell caster Doctor Odunga who helped me with the problem to make my spouse come back to me and make him stop cheating. Soon, Richard came back to me begging at Sicily where I stayed after our divorce and I told him he has to show me he has changed for me to believe him. He came back twice after that day to Sicily begging me to have him back. It's been more than a year now since my husband came back to me and we have been living together since that day. I believe this man can also help with your problem. His email address is [email protected] or WhatsApp him at +2348167159012
