Love Games
“The couple that plays together stays together in romantic love”
52 little pieces of paper each containing a colourful graphic and number seems like a rather innocuous item that is found in the majority of households, but have you ever taken a moment to consider that a simple deck of playing cards just may hold the secret to a lifetime of romance and happiness with the one you love?
Card games, and board games may sometimes skip our mind when we are searching for entertainment to relax with at the end of the day, but they actually hold the key to a healthy and happy relationship with your partner.
If you take a moment to think about it, the act of playing a board game with the one you love allows you the opportunity to have each others undivided attention as you playfully compete with each other in a setting devoid of outside distractions, and lets you talk, laugh, and share thoughts with your partner, as you enjoy the simple act of being inches away from the one you love.
Which Game to Choose
With the myriad of options in the marketplace, it may seem overwhelming to begin a board game collection if you do not already have one in your life, but as with everything, beginning with simplicity is always the best place to start.
When considering which games to purchase, you need to remember the reason that you are suddenly in the market for games. Your overall goal is to have a relaxing activity that you are able to share with your partner that allows you the opportunity to have fun with each other, talk, and laugh, while having a common distraction that allows interaction and keeps you away from mindlessly flipping on the television for amusement.
The best place to begin is with a simple deck of cards and a book of card playing games for beginners. The simpler the game the better, as the reason you are playing a game together is not about the actual game itself, but rather creating the opportunity to have a relaxing activity together that involves talking and quiet romantic interaction. A deck of cards is so portable it can be tucked anywhere, and with a litany of different games stored in you and your partners repertoire, will allow you to have special playing time no matter where you are.
As you begin to have more and more game nights together, you will inevitably begin to branch out from your first deck of cards and experience a variety of different types of games and genres. When trying some new games, keep in mind the different sides of your personalities and the theme of night you may want to share together, and purchase goes that fit the moods you wish to create.
Much like different forms of music for different moods, your game selection can be diverse and eclectic so that you always have just the right game to make your special time together perfect. if you have some fun and flirty games, strategic games, and competitive games at the ready, you will always have the right game on hand to blend with the feeling of your night.
Playful Excuse
The whole strategy of having board games and card games as part of your life is truly to have an excuse to spend interactive time together with your partner when you are both tired, and feel like relaxing and doing absolutely nothing.
Playing games is the excuse to do nothing together, in a way that ensures you are together and engaged in romantic communication. Think of playing games as a good habit that you wish to develop that is positive in the romantic happiness of your lives together, and allow your new good habit to overtake your current bad habit of sitting in front of screens not interacting with the person you love who is sitting right next to you.
Games are your chance to share the successes and challenges of your day, while having the distraction of a relaxing activity that allows you to laugh, be silly, and of course show each other the inner competitive side that is so much fun to have the opportunity to show.
As with any romantic activity, you get to make up your own little rules that are special for the two of you, and that can be a little secret from the rest of the world … you get to decide at the beginning of your evening what the prize is for the winer of your game night!
Let’s Play Together
You love your partner with all your heart and soul, and you are forever searching for ways to spend more romantic time together wrapped in each others love.
Games are the perfect distraction when you have a little block of time together with no particular plans, and you want to just be relaxed and at ease after a stressful or tiring day.
It is all too easy when you are feeling tired and lethargic to just sit together on the couch and flip on the television, but in doing so, you are not truly taking advantage of the quality time with your partner that is being afforded to you.
Playing games together gives you the chance to talk, laugh and have fun while turning an uneventful evening into one filled with romantic togetherness that you will want to replay over and over again.
Your romantic fairytale is a magic land filled with interacting with the one you love, gazing in your partners eyes, and loving every moment you spend together …. add board games to your lives, and you will be guaranteed to always be moments away from relaxing romance that leaves your heart filled with love.
