Relationship Reconnection:

Relationships are about opening up, relating, and constantly learning more about one another.  Here's a simple question to get you opening up and talking. "If you had to pick one T.V. show that best summed up your day what would it be and why?  Take turns answering this question and learning a little more about one another.

Love is a battlefield

While you don’t want your relationship to be an actual battlefield, you can battle it out on opposing teams or team up for a fun night of laser tag. 

From their website, “A two story 8,000 sq ft. deserted urban building that, houses a maze of barriers, barrels, radioactive materials and bases. As you work your way through, fog slowly creeps in as your eyes adjusts to the black lights and flashing sirens. You're armed with the latest advancement in futuristic military weapons; a 30th century laser gun with and an active pack which will update you on your progress throughout the mission. Your enemies move quickly and have the same armament as you, so be quick and decisive and make every shot count.”

Track21 is a great place to be a kid again.  After you finish a game of laser tag you can get in the driver’s seat and race around on of the three state of the art tracks.  These aren’t your kids go-carts, these are adult go-carts (you must be 16) high-performance GT-5 Sodikarts.

Relationship Reconnection:  Have fun. Sometimes it is great to just have fun together with your spouse and not worry about other things. 

Swinging Good Time

TopGolf is a place for fun and games for golfers and non-golfers. It is a 240-yard outfield with dartboard-like targets in the ground. The closer to the center or “bull’s-eye” you get and the farther out you hit your micro-chipped balls, the more points you receive. There are over 102 bays on 3 floors. You rent out a bay per hour good for up to six people, you can enjoy the bay yourself or make it a double date. Prices range from $20-$40 depending on the day and time.  If you don’t own any golf clubs that’s ok, TopGolf rents it’s golf clubs for free.

When your time is over you don’t have to leave, they have a restaurant and bar on site with an extensive menu.  They also have a lounge area where you can hang out.

Relationship Reconnection tip:

Take this time to have fun and learn more about each other. On each turn ask your spouse a question to expand your love map.  What is a love map?  What you know about your spouse. Dr. John Gottman teaches, “In knowledge there is strength. From knowledge springs not only love but the fortitude to weather marital storms. Couples who have detailed love maps of each other’s world are far better prepared to cope with stressful events and conflict.” 

Simplify

It's all about simplifying and having  some relaxing fun on this date.  Find a local park or check out Cullen Park, visit http://www.houstontx.gov/parks/ourparks/cullenpark.html to learn more.  Now, just play frisbee or even fly a kite together. Take some time to relax, unwind, and just enjoy one another's others company.


Relationship Reconnection:

Since we're simplifying here, Let's get back to the basics.  Some good old fashioned flirting is what this date calls for to reconnect.  A touch, a wink, a sweet comment, any and all of these can have a positive impact on your relationship.
