Couples who try to develop new hobbies together and **** together in new recreational activities -- especially those who take the initiative -- are happier. ***Sharing experiences brings freshness to a relationship and helps avoid boredom and complacency.
You can start from scratch and try something completely new to both of you. But if your partner is passionate about it, shouldn't you at least think about trying to share it? You'll discover a whole new side of your beloved. (People with a knack for being sexy!) . You will also have a personal teacher just for you. At the very least, you'll at least be rewarded for that effort.
If this sounds easy, it's probably because you've never been on a sailboat, up a ski slope, on a hiking trail, or on a golf course with a partner who's ready, skilled, and motivated.
Ask my mom about this; she's an avid painter and needleworker, and the perfect outdoor activity in her head is driving the convertible to that frozen yogurt store. In 49 years of marriage to my dad, she's been camping, canoeing, sailing, fishing, skiing and diving.
Our family got a great deal of enjoyment from a home video she made years ago. At the time, Mom shot the film while rocking in a duck house on a pond in Minnesota. Dressed head-to-toe in camouflage, she whispered into the camera, "It's 5 a.m. and we're all waiting for ducks."
You can hear Dad's duck caller going off, then Mom comes back to the camera and says, "It's 6 a.m., no ducks ...... in sight, and still no ducks." By 10:00, Mom tries to hold back from laughing out loud while Dad grimaces and throws a tantrum. You can imagine coming on that canoe trip back to shore.
