Play together.
Playtime isn’t only for kids. Adults need to be playful, too, to fully engage our God-given creativity. Don’t hesitate to schedule time regularly to play with your spouse, through activities that can range from playing charades or a board game at home to outings such as playing mini golf or going bowling. Talk about what you each enjoyed doing just for fun when you both were children; then consider doing some of those same activities together now to bring a spirit of childlike wonder into your marriage.

Laugh together.
Humor is a vital component of a healthy marriage, the American Psychological Association says, because it helps couples keep their lives in perspective and helps prevent boredom and isolation. There are many ways to laugh together, such as: playing practical jokes on each other, discussing funny stories you learn about from the news, watching comical movies or TV shows together, and laughing at the silly antics of your kids or pets.

Enjoy affectionate touch together.
Being physically affectionate with each other in non-sexual ways conveys unconditional love and strengthens the bond of friendship that’s crucial to happiness in marriage. Take advantage of the opportunities God presents each day to express affection to each other through touch: from holding hands like the couple I met in Italy, to giving each other hugs and shoulder rubs. Don’t be afraid to playfully tousle your spouse’s hair when the moment is right; that type of fun interaction can motivate your spouse to be more playful with you. Consider going on dates that encourage affectionate touch – from swing dancing to going swimming together.
