You'd agree with me that another thing that retires relationships quickly is lack of plays. The words, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is applicable in every ramification.
You can't be in a relationship and you're as stiff as a mahogany tree and as always serious as a robot and at the same time as busy as a bee. When I mean play, I don't mean taking each other out to restaurants and sight-seeing although they're part of it. The play I mean here is the "childish things". Yes, play like children!
You can do bed-jumping and pillow-fight at times. You also can go swimming and cycling not minding whether you know well enough how to do it or not, teach each other. Another one is to back each other a little distance in the evening walkout.
You say people will look at you? Yes, but you must have also taught them to love or better still, choose a street with fewer people in it. Another form of play is "playing the horse". That is, one person, bends down and carrying the other on the back while crawling on his or her knees and hands. This can get anyone excited.
You still can playfully make each other up using the lady's make-up kit. The lady will remember that anytime she sits with the make-up stand to dress. And lady, plating your guy's hair during the weekend will make him laugh when he sees himself in the mirror after that. Go ahead and give it a try.
Another one I like so much is playing in the rain. I think you'd like it too, give it a try. These and more are all plays that you can easily derive fun from. When you play in your relationships, it helps strengthen the bond and makes each moment a memorable one. Do you know everyone often looks forward to seeing his or her playmate? Moments of plays are moments of fun and laughter. Everyone cherishes them. To be continued next week.
