They say to affair-proof your marriage you should have fun and adventures together where you can experience thrills together, bond and grow.
What do you guys do? |

We both like working out but tend to do different things. But we meet in the middle of our preferences and do spartan races together. I’m a runner and he’s a lifter, but he’ll do the occasional road race with me (well...I beat him every time lol) if he likes the cause or if there’s a fun event afterward.
We both love sports so we go to NFL games together once or twice a year and occasionally to see my college team which is a big school with a good football team and great tailgate atmosphere. We also go to the local AAA affiliate baseball team’s games sometimes. |
| Board games. We loved Pandemic Legacy, season 1. We loved that we could do something without paying for a babysitter. |

I went on a trout fishing trip with my husband. I was terrible at it and I looked ridiculous in waders but it was bonding and we laughed a lot. I had no idea how tricky trout can be and it was kind of fascinating - I was pleasantly surprised.
We also go on a lot of hikes with our dogs, cook fancy meals together and love to take vacations - they are very rarely kid free anymore though. |

My DH and I love to travel, watch movies and try different foods/restaurants. Sadly, we can't do too much of these things because of the kids. Yes we could get a sitter, but it gets expensive. When we didn't have kids, we didn't have to worry about saving for college.
But, as they get older, we are starting to do this a bit more - we can go watch a movie without the kids; go to restaurants, but now, they want to come with us. We've traveled once just the two of us for a couple of days while a family member watched our kids. Our kids didn't like it too much. We have about seven more years to go before we are empty nesters. I miss traveling with DH. |

eating/cooking/restaurants
walking/hiking TV shows gardening |
| Hike, go to art galleries, walk through cities, cook together, work in the garden. We look for new things we haven’t tried when we’re traveling/away for a long weekend like zip lining, stand up paddle boarding, hot air ballooning. |
The biggest "thrilling" fun activity we do is traveling as much as we can and exploring new places - while on a trip we tend to do more adventurous things like snorkel, volcano hikes, snowmobile, even paragliding
Day-to-day we do hiking and spending time outdoors; museums; playing board games and sometimes video games; going out to eat; watching netflix/hanging out |
