A huge thanks to our friends atย Play Solitaire by MobilityWare and Blog Meets Brand for sponsoring todays post discussing 5 Ways to Bond with Your Spouse.
Hello, friends!
Hope you’re having a great day! Today I wanted to share 5 Ways to Bond with Your Spouse! A fun fact you might not know, is that I LOVE playing Solitaire. I remember when my husband and I first got together, his obsession for the game slowly passed on to me and I became just as obsessed as he is.
1 | Play Solitaire by MobilityWare
Solitaire by MobilityWare is the ORIGINAL maker of Solitaire with Daily Challenges. The game is constantly being updated to include new, fun features. If you used to play Windows Solitaire like we did, you’re going to LOVE this app. It’s the classic computer game on-the-go!ย You can evenย play daily challenges on the Apple Watch!
And now there are even more themes! You can even getย Solitaire iMessage Stickers for your text messages!
Tip: To send a sticker, open your Messages app. Tap the Apps button (which looks like the App Store icon), then select theย Solitaire icon to view and pick from the sticker pack.
Play by yourself or challenge other players in real-time. My husband and I love this feature because it means you can compete against each other (which we kind of enjoy). We’re both super-competitive, especially when it comes to gaming. If you want to read more about the game, check out the full description here!
2 | Do Small Things
A great way to show your spouse you care is to do small things for each other. Even if it’s something as simple as cleaning up the living room before I get off work, or making a yummy dinner, each time my husband does these things it really makes me feel good. I love having a clean living room to relax in after work is over. I also try to pay it forward by doing small things for him like renting his favorite movie, picking him up a cozy pair of slippers, etc.
3 | Schedule Date Nights
Date nights are crucial. My husband and I aren’t able to get out for date nights as often as we’d like, so we plan them at home! Once a week we have a date night in – it’s usually just eating a nice meal and then watching a movie, but sometimes we play board games, cards, and of course, Solitaire.
4 | Laugh
My husband is one of the funniest people I know, besides myself, obviously. Laughing together is my favorite thing to do –ย and playing games together is a way that we encourage this. We also love watching comedy-based shows and movies, it’s a great way to relax! We also goof off a lot, to others we probably seem crazy, but I love myself a hubby who can make me laugh ๐
5 | Talk About What You’re Thankful For
My husband and I are always talking about the things we’re grateful for, because sometimes our day-to-day lives can be a little stressful. I’ve been working onย keeping out unnecessary negativity – because you can’t control a lot of the things that happen in life, but taking those things in stride is what is getting us through. We have so many things we’ve built as a couple to be thankful for, and I love it that we can remind each other of those things.
What is YOUR all-time favorite game?

Thanks for the ideas! If your Hubs is into games, it is perfect. I like finding something we both love doing!
These are great ideas. It’s so important to remember that your spouse is also the person you fell in love with.
Great tips. Between parenting, working, bills, and all the other stuff couples have to deal with, it’s important to take time to reconnect.
I think it is important to plan a night out just for the two of you. It gives you time to connect and recharge.
We really need to make a date night a priority again. We haven’t since we moved to Idaho.
These are awesome ways to bond with your partner. It is so important for a couple to set date nights every week or at least twice a month. Playing Solitaire by MobilityWare is a good idea too. Thanks for sharing the itps.
I would totally do this with my husband. This is something that we would both enjoy. Thank you for sharing about it.
So important to work on your relationship all the time!!! These are great ways to increase your bond wiht your spouse.
I think these are all wonderful ideas. I need more date nights with my husband. It’s so important to still get that alone time with your spouse.
This is a fun idea. I haven’t played a game of solitaire in a very long time. We usually enjoy going out on dates together.
My husband and I love watching comedies. It’s not often we get to play a game together because we are very opposite on what we like game wise.
These are great ideas! As a couple, I think you both develop interests that you both enjoy. It’s good to find time to do these things together, it’s important to keep the fire burning always!
My boyfriend and I play all sorts of games on our phones! While not usually games we play together, we often compare and almost taunt each other when we do better haha
Date nights are fun and are the key to keep relationships fresh and hot. Great tips. – yolonda
These are all great tips. My daughter and her hubby schedule date nights and I think that’s such a great idea. Glad to see it on your list.
It’s so important to have a quality time for just the two of you and fun ideas, I would love for a movie date or dinner date
