Fun things to do with Your Partner – June 2025 Edition
By Kerrie Biehl
In the age of digital everything, it’s way too easy for intimacy to fade into the background noise of streaming services, emails, and doomscrolling. Let’s be real—sharing the same room doesn’t always mean sharing the same moment. And when your relationship feels more like a cohabitating truce than a steamy, can’t-keep-your-hands-off-each-other connection? Yeah. It’s time to shake things up.
Building connection doesn’t require a six-figure budget or an exotic vacation. It takes intention. A bit of creativity. And a willingness to look at your partner and say, “Let’s do something different tonight. Something that reminds us why we picked each other in the first place.”
So whether you’re soulmates, fated mates, or just trying not to hex each other during Mercury retrograde, here are some magical, meaningful, and just plain fun ways to reconnect.
1. Do Something New Together
Novelty is a hell of a drug. When you try something new together, your brain lights up with dopamine—the same hormone that floods you in the beginning stages of love. Want to bring the butterflies back?
- Take a couples cooking class (witch’s brew optional)
- Try paddleboarding at sunset
- Book a spontaneous weekend at a tiny cabin in the woods (bonus: you can pretend it’s haunted)
Why it matters: New experiences release feel-good chemicals and help cement positive memories—especially when paired with laughter, adrenaline, or minor culinary disasters.
2. Create a Couple’s Ritual
I’m not talking summoning circles (unless that’s your thing). I mean intentional time that belongs to just the two of you. Something repeatable. Something sacred in the mundane.
- Morning coffee on the porch while watching the sunrise
- Friday-night horror flicks with themed cocktails (Bloody Mary, anyone?)
- Sunday night Tarot pulls with wine and whispered dreams
Why it matters: Rituals ground us. They give us a shared rhythm and remind us that, no matter how chaotic the world gets, we have this moment.
3. Curate a Couple’s Playlist
Want to know someone’s soul? Check their playlist. Better yet—make one together. Swap songs that speak to your love story, your angst, your shared history.
Some mood-setting tracks to get you started:
- “Eternally Yours” – Motionless in White
- “The Dark of You” – Breaking Benjamin
- “Stay” – Ghost
- “My Dark Disquiet” – Poets of the Fall
- “If I Was Your Vampire” – Marilyn Manson
- Anything by HIM, Nine Inch Nails, or Bad Omens if you’re feeling dramatic and deliciously dark
Why it matters: Music bypasses logic and hits straight in the chest. Sharing the soundtrack to your soul is next-level vulnerability—and intimacy.
4. Get Lost Together
This doesn’t have to mean an actual forest (unless you’re both good with compasses). “Getting lost” means leaving the structure of your daily life to explore.
- Wander a new neighborhood or bookstore with no agenda
- Plan a road trip and let the GPS surprise you
- Do a night hike under the full moon, let the stars eavesdrop
Why it matters: The unknown awakens curiosity. When you’re both experiencing something for the first time, you lean into each other—and that’s where the magic happens.
5. Connect Through Creativity
Whether it’s making art, writing stories, or redecorating your haunted guest bathroom, creating something together deepens trust and sparks intimacy.
- Co-write a short story (bonus: make it steamy)
- Build a vision board for your shared future
- Paint tarot cards for each other based on your personalities
Why it matters: Creating together builds something beyond conversation. It brings your inner world into the physical, where your partner can see and touch and feel it.
6. Be Present, Not Just Together
This one’s simple, but oh-so-hard. Phones down. Eyes up. Ask each other questions that matter.
- What’s something you’ve never told me?
- When did you feel closest to me this week?
- What are you afraid of losing?
Why it matters: Presence is the sexiest form of love. When someone puts the world down just to be with you? That’s soul-mate energy right there.
Final Thought: Connection is a Spell
And it’s one that needs to be cast again and again. Love doesn’t maintain itself. Passion doesn’t stick around just because you once had it. You have to feed it. Water it. Sometimes, you have to grab it by the throat and remind it who you are.
But when you do? When you meet your partner in that deep place—the one below the chores, the work stress, the distractions—you remember.
You remember that this isn’t just a relationship. It’s your story. And you’re still writing it, one enchanted evening at a time.
