Good Morning Friends,
Last year we did a post by Clarissa Rivera, Content Marketer at Taos Footwear on shoes. Today, DJ Crino shares some information with us on Finding Hobbies You Can Enjoy. But before we get to DJ, I'd like to THANK everyone who visited and commented on my birthday post last week. The Winners of My Heart Weeps & The Inheritance are...
Jean Maurie and Mary Preston!
Congratulations Ladies. I've emailed you and am awaiting your response to send your book. Now, let's get on with todays post....
Finding Hobbies You Can Enjoy with Your Partner
When you’re in a relationship with someone, one of the most important things you can do to strengthen your bond is find activities you can share together. When you have shared hobbies, it keeps you laughing, enjoying each other’s company, and growing as a couple. It gives you the chance to break out of your routines as well.
If you aren’t sure where to start, the following are some hobbies you can start trying with your partner now. It may take some time to find what you both like, but it’s well worth it in the end.
Walking, Running or Hiking
First, each of you should buy a pair of women’s supportive sneakers and men’s comfortable sneakers, and from there, get out and about on the greenways or trails of your community.
You might decide that you like power-walking together. It gives you the chance to talk and catch up, get your heart rate up and get some vitamin D while you’re at it. If you’re more athletic, you can also enjoy running together.
Think about setting a goal, like training for a mini-marathon.
If you live near somewhere with hiking trails, that’s another good option for couples. As you get more experienced at hiking, you can start to venture to more adventurous trails.
Tennis
Tennis is a great sport for couples of any age, and it’ll give you the chance to infuse friendly competition into your relationship. Plus, it promotes feel-good endorphins.
If you’re complete tennis newbies, you might take a few lessons first, as a couple, and go from there.
It’s also something that you can do with other couples if you’re up for a doubles match.
Cooking or Baking
Cooking as well as baking are things you can do indoors, regardless of what the weather is like outside. Cook recipes that are perhaps a bit more complex, so you can both share in the work.
Maybe you set aside one night a week where you pour a glass of wine, turn on music, and cook a fabulous meal.
You can try different types of food from around the world or step outside of your comfort zone with the things that you make.
Take a Class
You can take a class in-person or virtually on any topic that might interest both of you. Maybe it’s photography or a class on a particular type of history. You could learn a skill at the same time. You could even learn a new language.
Think about once you’ve both mastered enough of the language, rewarding yourselves with a trip to where it’s spoken. It’ll give you both a shared goal to work toward.
Whatever it is, learning together will keep you growing together and give you something new and exciting to talk about in your relationship.
Read the Same Book
Finally, why not create a book club with just the two of you? You can each read the same book at the same time and then discuss it. It’ll give you insight into how your partner’s thoughts and perspective might be similar to your own but also unique from yours.
There are a lot of things you can start doing today that will serve as a foundation for a great relationship.
Great information DJ, especially since many are still under some level of stay home Covid guidelines. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you enjoyed the post friends and that you'll check back weekly for Saturday Spotlight and Wednesday Words with Friends.
Until next time, take care and God Bless.

My husband and I share a love of camping and history. We travel to historic sites both popular and obscure. We certainly need comfy shoes for that. Thanks for sharing
Great ideas. My husband and I love hiking together. Every summer he prints out a calendar so we can plan when we're going to go, and we try for several times each summer. Good luck with your books.
I love the idea of a book club for 2.😍
Oh, that's so true about finding things to share and especially laughing and having fun with them. Thanks for sharing.
My husband and I enjoyed gardening together as well as shopping for antiques. (I tended to do more shopping while he wrote the checks.) We also had a boat and spent time on the lake together.
Memories of our together time are more beautiful now that he's gone.
Great ideas for summer fun! Thank you, DJ.
My hubby and I like to play board games and visit Civil War historical sites together.
Those are great ideas. I don't have a partner, but if I did, I would likely try at least a few of these. :)
Shared hobbies are a fabulous way to connect.
Sorry I'm late to this post! These are all really great ideas.
Thank you ALL for dropping by and leaving comments.
I'm sure DJ appreciates them also.
Love and appreciate your support!
