Chose a night where the two of you sit down and have fun playing a game; it could be a word game, a puzzle or even an intimate game that melts the cold. Games are wonderful ice breakers because they initiate conversation and help build relationships through team building concepts.

Exercise is a wonderful partner activity; it is not necessary to join a gym. Plan to do some type of workout for thirty minutes a day to avoid weight gain and to add energy to your daily routines.
