Good one @debrief,i agree with and appreciate the points you have listed.. but gosh I hate going to the mechanic's!!...the smell of engine and grease every where does not sit well with me and my fiancé knows(unfortunately).I agreed to accompany him once at his request to his mechanic but the poor dude ended up having to repeatedly assure me they'll be done soon because of my 'squeeze face' sad
...I didn't voice out my displeasure but he could tell I was getting increasingly cranky as time went on..the amount of time we spent for something I thought would take an hour max, the scorching sun and resultant heat was no joke!!
...@belong you are spot on about the games thingy..monopoly,ludo and card playing are great ways to bond..especially if am the one winning! grin
Re: Fun- Bonding Activities For Couples by Ngokafor(f): 10:22am On Sep 07, 2013
debrief08: Bless you jor, how did I forget Ludo, card and other indoor games.
Be a good cheat with chess, Ludo and whot.
For Ludo, learn how to push your newly out seed into the home zone with sytle.
For WHOT learn to hide the bad cards.

Don't say na me teach you the day you get up and cards come tumbling down oh.

...you don't say!! grin...but really Ludo is something else! angry...my fiancé is always amused at my frustrations when am looking for a number to get ahead,escape from danger or win!! grin...you need to see me screaming 'one' when in actual fact I am looking for a 'six that has refused to surface! grin.

wise_many2k: For couples and singles in a relationship, while playing ludo or card games, u cld spice it up by placing bets... Steam it up by playing multiple times with the loser of each round taking off a piece of cloth on his/her body! I remember playing dis game several times with my 1st gf! It was awesome! And for guys, try not to over win! When she's down to panties or bras, try and lose a game or two intentionally before winning! It will spice up the event! wink

...hmmm nice one!...would certainly put it to practice soon tongue

I love playing chess and always beat my wife anytime we play. U can guess how many times she had to UnCloth cos i won a game. U can imagine my surprise when Wifey started making mouth after she beat me one time like that embarassed. It didn't matter that I allowed her to win cos she had kept complaining that I always beat her. She just kept screaming and jumping arnd telling me "hey!! I finally beat u". I enjoyed her joy, I was overjoyed she was happy. Sad thing now is she refuses to play chess with me anymore cos she has this thought that I may want to laugh in to her face the way she did to me when she won . Funny, she never knew I let her win that one time.

Not married yet but here are the fun activities with "the woman" that i have found to be very rewarding...

1. Road trips - the fun actually starts with planning each other's calenders to fit a trip in. Packing clothes, stocking the car with odds and ends like water bottles, fruits, maps...

2. Watching movies

3. Going to comedy shows

debrief08: One sad thing I have noticed is that most times when we get married have a few kids fun and bonding ends for the Nigerian couple.

Social activities are restricted to attending Church, weddings and namings.

The wife is caught up in trying to balance a career and a home and the husband is stressed from work and helping out and spends most of his alone time watching TV or if he is outgoing with friends.

The wife also spends free time on her own shows and with friends. Their only time together is in the bedroom which slowly turns boring and routine.

I was there and hubby and I worked out some fun bonding activities that we do together sometimes with the kids:

1. Evening stroll: this helps us manage our weight, talk, catch up, play love, hold hands and just be friends. We do this on less stressful weekdays after an early dinner, walk down somewhere if we need to get something rather than drive.
We get home refreshed, smiling and take a bath sleep very well.

2. Picnics: doesn't cost much, sometimes we just take books, read and lie on each other in a park. Mostly lazy saturdays when Grandparents have the kids. We make lunch pick up some wine and go to a park, find a quite corner and spend the day. Sometimes we both take day offs during the week and then the parks are virtually empty. Its great.

3. Watch a movie: our favorite sport. We take turns in selecting the movies as our choices differ, I may not like his choice but I watch and vice versa, we make out in the cinema ( we sit up back) and we cheer shamelessly and loudly at the movie.

4. Play video games: His sport, I learned to play and we play even though he is a master

5. Salon: Once in a while he comes with me to the salon, makes fun of what we do, makes the other ladies laugh, gets pizza or snacks for everyone, I feel happy, he gets rewarded big time

6. Spa: sometimes we go get massages together especially after a stressful week.
Its fun and relaxing.

7. Mechanics: Believe it or not spending a day at the mecahincs can be fun. We take our meals and a drink, get some for the mechanics, we gist, eat, check out the work, go home shower and rest.

There are a lot more but as I remember I will post more.
Try out one of these this weekend if you don't already.
Stay in love.
Best wishes

Nice. enjoys this with wifey

True, this is one of the very best threads I have read in the family section. Lots of good stuff to learn for everyone and it is very applicable to all. I wonder why some people think trying to have a happy marriage is not applicable to them.

Don't go looking for a good woman until you yourself have become a good man. You must meet the requirements of your requirements
Re: Fun- Bonding Activities For Couples by GHKWAME(m): 2:24pm On Sep 08, 2013
You did everything within your power to get your woman, then you better do everything within your power to keep her............

Lame by your own standards? Perhaps you would be better off commenting on things you ACTUALLY have an idea about.

debrief08: Ah CC how did I forget Karoeke, we love that.

Abeg go ahead, Nigerians can always complain and find faults but market it well them go buy.

Besides is it not easier to spend fun time and money bonding than to go and spend on theraphy settling issues that will be avoided by spending quality lovey time
Debrief is entirely right here. In a country of 150, 000, 000, I doubt that 50,000 at least would subscribe. CC, that's a goldmine in the making, truthfully, if I had the resources I'd have a go at it.
Profit-making + social responsibility, heaven would be delighted.
