The Love List (Reflection 3)

This section of the book says that you should do something active with your partner each week. Find some fun activities to do together and make it a point to do those activities. Not everyone will like the same activities, but continue to try different things until you find something you enjoy doing together.

1. How would sharing an activity together each week bring the two of you closer together? There are small activities that we enjoy doing together, but we could work on finding more activities. Often times we get frustrated when we don't both want to do the same thing, but we still want to be together. Trying new activities and finding ones we both like would really help this frustration.

2. Which activities have the potential to be shared with your spouse? Biking, camping, golfing, ice-skating, swimming, tennis, concerts, movies, sporting events, volunteering, woodworking, card playing, cooking, house renovating, photography, shopping, etc.

3. Of course the above list is just to get you started. What other activities might the two of you enjoy? Planning events, looking at businesses, finding potential rental properties, rock climbing, broom ball, laser tag, etc.

4. Once you identify a potential shared activity, what will it take for the two of you to actually follow through and do it? Will you need a baby-sitter? Equipment? Get specific. All we would really need is time to do that activities. Nate travels for work so we are not always together. Maybe we can find a way to Skype our weekly activity while he is gone.
