5 Things Couples Do Together to Stay Together

Communication, spontaneity and laughter: these are all the traits that make a couple last and stay together. But have you ever wondered what activities couples do together to make their relationship that much more special? A German study found that couples who were more open to new experiences were more likely to stay together long term. So here are a few experiences you can choose to challenge and embrace together!

WORKOUT

When you work out together, you learn how you can coordinate your actions with your partner. Whether that is lifting weights in rhythm, matching your running pace, tossing balls back and forth or even Disco Yoga, these nonverbal mimicry help couples feel more emotionally attuned to one another. Without being aware of your partner's influence, you'll also find that working out together helps to improve the efficiency of your workouts! So, if you're looking to achieve your fitness goal or increase your emotional bond, gymming is a great activity to do as a couple!
