- Download the At-Home Marriage Retreat for Couples offered at ForYourMarraige.org
- Engage in a round or two (or a few) of a two-player video game, where you can play together as a team, or enjoy friendly competition
- Look through your wedding album or watch your wedding video together
- Take a few minutes and slow dance together if a favorite song comes on your radio/Pandora/Spotify etc. OR purposefully play and dance to the song you chose for your first dance on your wedding day
- Each of you, gather some favorite couple photos from your years together. Plan a time when you look at the photos together, and talk about why the pictures are meaningful and beloved
- Put together a puzzle. Perhaps choose to buy one together that symbolizes a life goal the two of you share (ex: a vacation to Hawaii or becoming more fit by hiking in the woods)
- Tell one another the story of how you met and fell in love, enjoy each spouse’s unique perspective
- Cuddle up on the couch with some popcorn and watch a movie you’ve both been eager to see – or choose an old favorite (Make a date to do this once the kids have gone to bed if small ones are still at home.)
- Recall the friends and family members who were a part of your wedding day (With whom have you lost contact? Should you try connecting with them again? Who is in need of your prayers? Who has passed away? Pray together for their souls.)
- Bundle up and go outside together for a walk, a hike, or to build a snowman/have a friendly snowball fight
- Dream together: Look forward into the future, and talk about what your “couple goals” are for the next two, or five, or twenty years . If you enjoy music, make a playlist to match. If you find art or photos meaningful, create a vision board together. If writing is your thing, create a story of your future life. Commit to revisiting these dreams each year so that you can celebrate those you’ve achieved together, change those that are no longer meaningful, and add new dreams and goals to your list
