8 Ways To Bond With Your Partner

1. Try something new

Bring some newness into your life and relationship. Try something new together. Whether it’s a new sex position or a type of food you’ve both never tried before— test it out. Doing something new and exciting can bring some much needed newness and excitement into your relationship. So, do you and do new.

2. Consider couples therapy

Don’t get scared off by the word “therapy.” Couples therapy can be the ultimate of bonding experiences. This would be good for the couple that has become extra distant and can’t figure out why. Or maybe you both have unresolved issues that would be helpful to work through. I know therapy doesn’t sound like an ice-cream sundae, but it sure is sweet when you see the end result.

3. Travel somewhere

There’s nothing like a trip to Maui to bond you to together. They say when you travel with someone, you really get to know them. Maybe it’s being confined to a small hotel room with the same person for a couple of days, or it’s experiencing new places together. Whatever it is, you will sure as hell get closer.

4. Plan a date night

If your date nights have turned into Lean Cuisines on the sofa, then it might be time to have a date night makeover. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good TV dinner. But you need to incorporate some date nights where you two are actually talking to one another and engaging. Do date night right and take turns planning something special.

5. Teach each other something

One way to bond is to teach your partner something new. No, I’m not talking about that overplayed teacher/school girl fantasy. I’m talking about teaching your partner something that he or she would find interesting. This could be you teaching your boyfriend or girlfriend . Or you could teach your significant other how to play an instrument. Learning from one another actually teaches you both a new skill—how to bond.

6. Get intimate

The holy grail of bonding is being intimate with each other. If you are feeling disconnected and distant, it’s likely to show up in your sex life. Build a stronger connection again by becoming more intimate. Try out new positions, new places and just start touching each other again.

7. Play some games

Playing around is one way to reconnect, especially if you’re playing for the same team. For someone who’s competitive like me, I would suggest you and your mate play on a team against another couple. However, if you’re a little more chill, then playing opposite your partner can be a great way to connect, laugh and enjoy each other’s company.

8. Relive memories

It’s not always good to live in the past. However, sometimes it can help connect you and your partner again. Talking about happy memories from the past can be a great way to bond. And, you can even take it one step further by reliving old memories. Take your lover on that date you planned for his birthday three years ago. Or surprise your girlfriend by reenacting your very first date. It’s not always good to leave the past in the past.

As a couple it is really important to act and think as one, always united in anything and everything they do. Sharing things together and discovering things. To always be involved in each other's activities and bonded by their strong love, respect , understanding and trust for one another.

thanks for sharing the helpful tips

I bond by sharing my helpful tip.

nice post.....keep it coming....good read!

Velcro is better... every now and then you might want to detach

OP thanks!

I wonder if being followers of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monsters could also help.

Lets see: photograph stolen from a real teacher in New York, and text stolen from an online article about bonding.

I'd call this a form of spam, myself.

And the advice itself is bland, naive, pedestrian at best, and mostly useless. Especially the idea that "couples therapy" is a great way to "bond." Might as well suggest that the local Emergency Room, is a great way to improve your health.

In the animal Kingdom some species do a funny dance to bond with each other.

I might give that a go if I ever get a date.

Go to Africa and live deep in the jungle.
No gun/s, no clothes, no cooking wares...NADA
Me Tarzan , you Jane

Or, you may choose an easy option,

LOST for 2 years on a lonely island ??
That should fix it

The most important step is to obtain a partner, perhaps when I complete that step I can let you know?

If they're already your partner, then most likely you've already bonded.

If you're having difficulties, then what you're doing is working against your bond, trying to break it.

You can't force a bond with someone.
It won't really work if you consciously focus on building a bond.

Bonds don't form on/by the conscious level.


Other than that, most of what is in the op aren't ways to bond with your partner, but means to force yourself to change your current behavior to something new that isn't working against the bond that you've already developed. Mostly going back to old behavior as a trigger mechanism to tell your brain you aren't working against the bond.
