Tangible ways to have fun with your spouse during quarantine:
-board games or card games
-virtual games with friends & family using zoom or google hangout (check out: The Jackbox Party Pack )
-puzzles
-bake or cook together
-have some drinks (a given for most, I know) and spice it up by wine or beer “tasting” at home
-do a themed dinner and/or movie night
-watch your favorite comedies or look up a comedian online to have a good laugh & lighten the mood
-blindfolded taste testing
-read those books you haven’t had time for (my New Years Resolution for 3+ years)
-go on a walk or jog together
-go for a drive together
-work out in your living room or backyard together
-take a shower or bath (you’d be surprised how good you’ll feel after a full day in your sweats or PJs)
-binge watch all those shows you haven’t had time for
-write cards & notes to mail to loved ones & friends
-call an elder family member to check in on them
-work on a project you two have put off “until you have time”... except maybe something from Ikea. That can probably wait until later.
Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Make the most of this time and try to shift your perspective by seeing it as a gift to spend extended quality time with your spouse making memories.
Sincerely,
A wife who is currently rocking the heck out of dry shampoo
