Play Your Way to a More Intimate Relationship (Episode #13) Have we forgotten how to play? As we get older, we tend to forget to have genuine fun. In this episode. Dr. Kevin Skinner and Amy Andrus encourage you to pull out games and learn to play again. When we tease, flirt, and engage in friendly banter in our relationships, we create memories that can last a lifetime. If you are looking for a few ideas on strengthening intimacy in your relationship through play, join us for this fun episode.  Playful Tips You Can Try Feeling inspired to inject some playfulness into your relationships? Here are a few suggestions on how to do just that: Have a Game Night: Dust off the old board games or cozy up for a night of video gaming. Take a Class Together: Whether it’s cooking, painting, or dancing, learning something new can be both educational and fun. Prank Each Other: Keep things light by playing a practical joke once in a while (and be sure to keep it lighthearted!). Enjoy Childish Delights: Visit an amusement park, spend an evening stargazing, or have a picnic in the living room. Remember, it's all about the experience. Play Sports or Exercise Together: A bit of healthy competition can be great for both your physical and relational health. Cater to Each Other’s Whims: Indulge in each other’s spontaneous, fun ideas. Try Role-Playing: A risqué endeavor, perhaps, but role-playing can introduce new, fun elements into your relationship. Bring Out Your Inner Child: Engage in activities you loved as kids, from finger painting to building forts. Get Crafty for Each Other: Make personal gifts or cards, or work together on a DIY project. Create Inside Jokes: Inside jokes are tiny tempos of happiness that can be shared anytime, anywhere. Resources Discussed in This Show Dating on Purpose (Book) A special thanks to McKay Hatch for the intro music. If you haven’t listened to the episode with McKay, his story is truly inspiring.
