I have heard that doing something challenging together, helps strengthen bonds with your spouse. Here are some fun "bonding" activities we have enjoyed.
1. Cooking class
Neither of us are gourmet cooks, but we love to eat. A cooking class was a fun way to learn something new. We were in a group class, so we got to interact with other people as well. We got to help out with preparing a meal and then ate it. Yum!
2. Dance class
I love to dance, so I was very excited when my husband agreed to take Tango lessons. We were not the most graceful on the dance floor, but we learned a few moves to try every once in awhile. Plus it is a good workout.
3. Hiking
Once we get into summer and it is light later, this can be a great early date event. You can hike after work, then go out to dinner (or pick up the little ones). Hiking or walking together gives you time to talk, without being distracted by anything but the view.
4. Rock climbing
Indoor rock gyms are fairly common now. They usually have a climbing area for beginners. We found a place that has auto-belays, so you do not need training to belay the other person. This is also a great pre-dinner workout.
5. Local theatre
No matter where you live, there is usually a local theatre or high school drama program nearby. It is not only fun to support local arts, there is plenty to talk about as you dissect the play afterwards.
