Express your gratitude fo one thing your partner did that day – this could be something small, like remembering to buy toilet paper, or something big like planning a vacation. Let them know how much you appreciate them!
Hold hands in public. Take a walk around the block, hand in hand.
Make out.

Do something new together! Cook a new recipe for dinner or check out a new restaurant in town. Visit a museum. Do the Sunday paper crossword together!
Take a class together. Dance, cooking, crafting – whatever strikes your fancy. Getting out of your normal routine will give you new memories, and new things to talk about.
Workout together! Getting active, whether its a friendly game of pick up basketball in the park or a jog through the woods, is a great way to break up routine.
Trade playlists or mixtapes with your boo, and have a dance party in the living room.
