Do you remember what life was like before you got your dishwasher? That old-fashioned way of life can very well be the missing ingredient that is required to bring more spice to your life. It can be the solution to getting you and your fiance to bond.

Everything should be in black and white when you are dealing with ideas to spice up a relationship or a marriage. People should have quality time together with their partners and bond over new experiences.

The things that have the most power to ignite our relationships are those simple things that people take for granted. These things may include washing dishes together, doing the laundry or taking walks.

You probably have experienced that the process of washing dishes at night in warm soapy water is a calming and meditative process. You will rise to a new realm by just gently rubbing the foam around your arms and paying attention to each cup and saucer that you are cleaning.

This same way, you will get a relaxing and fun time together with your boyfriend or girlfriend if you both spend time together washing dishes.

It is up to you to take charge. Be the initiator and make use of a lot of touching and feeling. Rub your hands a lot. What you gain from al these actions is that you get to connect more. Someone loosens up and warms up to you. It is at this point that you may have a good platform to express feelings.

It is a simple and old-fashioned form of romance. Set a side one day of the week that you are both comfortable having a dinner and afterwards doing the dishes together.

Give the dishwasher a break. Get into a soapy affair, turn on the romance, and ensure that you get cozy while at it.

If you have children and sometimes struggle for entertaining ways to keep them busy, consider scavenger hunts. They are a fun activity that works with kids of all ages. You can make scavenger hunts simple for younger children, ore more difficult for older kids, and can have the hunt be spontaneous or meticulously planned.

Older kids can have an added element to their hunt if you provide hints only rather than a list of items to find. Figuring out the ‘clues’ and deciding what to hunt for can be a big part of the fun!

You don’t want kids wandering away from supervision while they look for things, though, nor do you want them picking up garbage. To avoid these possibilities, consider holding a nature hunt in your backyard, or in a local park.

One important element for a nature scavenger hunt is the nature reminder or lesson. Children should be reminded that the hunt is fun, but should not cause harm to nature. They need to remember to be careful, and to only take items from the ground. Children may worry that they won’t be able to find the items with this rule; explain that there will be plenty of items on the ground that will let them complete the hunt. Choose items that can be found on the ground, such as:

Small insects like ladybugs or ants (but avoid stinging insects or larger insects or animals of any type). Rocks of specific shape, size, or color. Leaves of a specific type, or of a specified shape or color. Flowers of a specific color. Pinecones. Small pebbles. Anything of a specific color of shape (e.g.,”’something yellow,” or “something round”).

Theme hunts are also very fun and engaging for children. And they don’t have to be expensive; often, a quick trip to the dollar store will provide everything you need.

You might also consider sending the kids off to find ‘treasure,’ by providing hints that lead to a stash of chocolate gold coins. Or, host a secret agent mission hunt, and have them search for the clues as well as the items!

Kids engaged in a scavenger hunt can be kept busy for an hour or more. For older kids, you might even allow the hunt to include neighbors (if you know the neighbors well) and have kids hunt for things like a mismatched sock, a coin from a specified year, and so forth.
