7 Activities married couples should do to bond intimately while on lockdown
With the lockdown going on and all the ongoing restrictions, a lot of people especially married couples have been stuck together at home. This situation has slowly begun to uncover the cracks that exist in some relationships and there has been a sudden escalation of issues that couples didn’t quite pay attention to before now.
Sadly, some of these cracks have resulted in domestic violence. Last week, the government reported that Domestic violence is on a surge during this period. Some couples just can’t stand each other, now staying together for 24 hours!!! Omg!
Today I’m sharing 7 daily activities to do with your spouse to help you bond intimately this season.
Activities married couples should do to bond intimately
Talk to each other
As cliche as this sounds, it might be a difficult task for some couples. This is a wonderful time to talk about everything and anything. Don’t just go about doing things individually at home, communicate. Talk!
If there are issues that have been brushed under the carpet for months, you have all the time to seat down and resolve those issues completely now . Ask questions, reevaluate your relationship, and assess if you guys are still on the same page. Find out if your spouse is still very much happy to be together.
Share ideas, new goals and dreams. Make financial plans, considering that the lockdown has affected some of your income sources.
Speak softly to each other, no shouting, no yelling and absolutely no violent behaviour.
Just talk!
Listen to one another
Similar to the first point, it’s important to listen to each other. Often times, it’s easy to dismiss the fact that only one person has been doing the talking and decision making in a home.
Now is the time to break that habit and actually listen to your spouse. If you need to ask questions to get them to talk, do it. Just make sure that when they do, they have your undivided attention. Don’t be tempted to interrupt.
Interest exchange
Not all couples have the same interests however, it’s important to discover common grounds so as to enjoy the same activities together especially now that you are on lockdown and stuck with each other all day long.
Watch a movie he likes, watch a Tvshow she likes. Take the time to learn about your partner’s interests and things that make them smile in those moments when you are apart. Everything and anything. My husband now loves Kdrama almost as much as I do. Yippee! 5 years is enough for us to rub off on each other yeah? Lol! We also share our latest music playlists and listen to them together.
What’s your favorite song right now?
The other day I was sharing with him how Mr. Macaroni on IG cracks me up even before he opens his mouth to speak. I also got him to follow some of my favorite Instagram pages so he could have a deeper insight into things that interest me lately. You can totally do that too.

Bathe Together
Save water, bathe together. Lol! With your regular day to day schedules, you and your spouse might have missed out on those hot bathroom showers from the early days of marriage.
Now is the time to bring it all back. You can take daytime and nighttime showers together and just lather each other with soap. A nice massage afterward, some sexy lingerie and you can bet things are sure to get heated after that. Lol
Dance Together
Please don’t tell me your wedding day was the last time you held hands to dance together. Is it? Omg!
Get up, grab your spouse, cue some music and dance together. Enjoy the rhythm and the clashing of your skin against each other. Have fun and if you’d like to, document these beautiful moments. Always great to go back and look at how much you guys are evolving as a couple.
Cook Together
Not all couples get to do this together frequently but believe me cooking together helps my husband and I bond a lot. This comes in handy especially at this time when everyone is home and more meals have to be cooked unlike the regular days before Covid.
Try making a meal from scratch while you gist and tease each other in the kitchen, this helps reduce any tension around the house. No one will really feel the stress of cooking after it’s all done since you guys have pretty much done the work together.
Other chores to do together, bathing the kids, doing bedtime changes, laundry and all. Be present, do it together. Support one another.
Pray, Read and Study together
Before now, you might not have been able to spend time praying or studying scripture together. Now is the time to share God’s word together, read the same passages or choose a couple devotional from Youversion and do it together. Each day, allow your spouse to share their own thoughts and insight on what you have read together.
These are Activities married couples should do to bond intimately and bring back the spark to their relationship.
