H-O-R-S-E

My husband loves basketball.  I do, too.  I played in my high school days.  Last night, we had a beautiful evening and so I decided it was the perfect time for a date.  I got out the basketball and told him that we were going to play "HORSE" together.  Although most of my shots didn't go in, we still had a great time.  (Not to mention, I made a big fool of myself with the "interesting" shots that I came up with.  But, that's half the fun!)

The best part of this was that we continued to compliment each other throughout the night.  It was really nice to be told how great I was.  :)

If you've got a basketball and a hoop in your driveway, this is a free date.  Otherwise, go to a local gym and play.  We even changed the word from "horse" to "date."  You can be creative with this.  If you're looking for a longer date, I would suggest using the word "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious."

Relationship reconnection:  Each time a person gets a letter, they have to say something that they think the other person is good at.  We played two rounds and then swapped it, saying something that we thought we were good at.  It gives a sense into what the other person sees as their strengths, as well as what they think your are.  That can be useful to know in a relationship.  Also, it just feels darn good to have the one you love say what they think you're good at.

Happy dating!
