Bonding with your partner is more important than most people think. We are on a vacation right now and we always like to play games.
So tonight we are playing a game of cards on our hotel bed.
Since we both like to test our knowledge and like the competitive aspect, we got this card game where you have 40 animals lying around in the middle. (And more to replace)
There will be a task assigned like in the picture: "find animals that can climb". So everyone takes turns picking an animal. You take turns until you stop. The other one can decide to keep picking.
After everyone has picked their pile, look at the back to see if you were right or wrong. If you have a wrong one, you lose a right one as punishment.
The player with the most correct picks wins.
This is a test of knowledge and shows you how your partner deals with stress, anger, losses and problems.
You can also discuss, argue and laugh a lot together!
So what do you do to bond with your partner?
Also can we make a Bitcoin game out of that?

Since my wife and I don't have children, I spend the majority of my free time with her. We pretty much do everything together, I'm sure tonight we will watch Netflix and have dinner like usual. We will probably make fun if whatever we watch, and laugh at lot.

Laughing a lot together sounds wonderful! We also have a Netflix routine that we like to break up. Sitting on the couch 5 out of 7 days a week watching Netflix seems like a lot of wasted time and a monotonous activity... So we want to break the routine, but right now we don't really know how. Hence the question.

How about a regular dance class together?

first and foremost, it sounds like you're interested in introducing more quality time. here are a few ideas that I have, most are things I saw my parents do:
  • go for a walk, bike, hike, or something. but just walking around the block is straightforward.
  • read a book or poem to her (if you want to keep it short and easy, to start, I recommend trying just one random page from the Tao te Ching) (I've linked the digital version, but get a paperback, they're tiny and you can carry them around easily)
  • do a crossword together
  • sit on the floor stretching & listen to an album from start to finish
  • talk to each other, but not about politics if you can avoid it
  • get some crayons and do some coloring books
  • grow a chia pet (they're surprisingly complicated to get started)
  • learn a card game, or dominoes, or backgammon
if all else fails, you could tell her about bitcoin ;)

This is very timely as we have three kids and one more almost here trying to ensure we have time together which is hard but I need to do it more
