10 Ways to Reconnect with your Partner during the Holidays!

Written by Kylie Davis

The holiday season is normally spent giving back to others, your children, families, but what about your spouse? After all of their help and hard work, you both deserve a little TLC. Here are some awesome ways to reconnect with your partner in crime after the hustle and bustle of the holidays:

1. Host a hot chocolate and marshmallow party with other couples! This is a great way to reconnect with your neighbors and your honey while making amazing new hot chocolate creations. http://dailysavings.allyou.com/2014/11/19/hot-chocolate-recipes/

2. Put those awesome new games you just bought the children to use! Have a “parents only” game night and bring out the kid in both of you.

3. Have a favorite holiday movie? Watch it! Don’t skip out on the movie theater popcorn!

4. Didn’t make it up to NYC this holiday? Recreate the scene by driving around the neighborhood and checking out the different decorations. Then, once you are back at home, make ice-cream Sundays just like Serendipity!

5. Create something together. Go to a craft store and pick a new project or go to a pottery painting shop! Making something together is a fun, easy, and cheap way to bring you closer.

6. Iron chef challenge! Use the endless left overs from the holidays to create something new for each other.

7. Have a favorite movie trilogy? Use the holiday to watch them all! Snuggle up on the couch with your partner and favorite snacks and enjoy!

8. Ice-skating! It may seem cliché, but falling all over the ice with each other will only make the experience more laughable.

9. Take the decorations down together. It is always tough trying to get out of the holiday swing, but taking down the tree and decoration is always the first step. Use that time to reconnect, evaluate, and reflect on what you are both thankful for.

10. Give back, as much fun as it is to receive, it is even more fun to give back! Get a group of couples together from your church or neighborhood and give back to the community.
