iFly- Indoor Skydiving

People love to skydive. I never really understood why, but I wanted to know what all the hype was about. If you have had similar feelings check out iFly Indoor Skydiving. There is no stress of jumping out of a plane, or worrying about a parachute. With indoor skydiving, you are wearing a jump suit, googles and helmet, and are put in a vertical wind tunnel. It is safe, fun and gives you the same adrenaline rush as real skydiving. This is a great date to do with your spouse, and will give both of you and instant high for the rest of the day, and maybe even a few days after.

There is more to do in a library or bookstore besides checking out items. Below are a list of activities to do together that will cost nothing! This can also be done in a bookstore, and while there, grab some drinks or pastries.

1.     Find your favorite book as a child, then read them to each other.
2.     Look through some cookbooks and find a meal you would enjoy making together.
3.     Pick out a joke book and share the best ones with each other.
4.     Choose 3-4 random books. Have a conversation with each other, but only use lines from those books.

Revitalize that Relationship!
Remember that marriage is give and take. Make sure to find time to talk with your spouse about the balance in your relationship. One person should not have to carry the whole load. Discuss the following points with each other:
-What do I do for my spouse on a daily, weekly, monthly basis?
-What does my spouse do for me on a daily, weekly, monthly basis?
-What do I appreciate most about my spouse?
-Ask your spouse, Where can I improve in our relationship?

Okay, so you aren’t really going to fall in love with the questionnaire, but hopefully be more in love with your spouse. A study was done to explore intimacy levels between two strangers. During this study couples had a list of questions to ask and answer. They rated their intimacy level with their fellow participant before and after the questionnaire. Many couples rated their intimacy levels higher after engaging in the questionnaire together. It takes 20-30 minutes to ask each other these questions. It is a great way to spend time together, and get to know each other all over again.
