Welcome to Summer 2023!
If you and your partner are looking to start Summer off in an amazing way with your significant other, here are a few ideas to add to your resolutions list from the Couply team, the best app for couples in 2023!
Here are 5 ways you can do with your partner this summer:
1. Take a trip together
Traveling with your partner can be a great way to bond and create new memories. It can also help you both relax and unwind after the stresses of the previous year. Consider planning a trip to a destination that you've both always wanted to visit, or try something new and adventurous like a camping trip or a beach getaway.
Idea: Creating a trip planning date, where you share ideas is a fun way to play-plan your dream vacation.

2. Start a new hobby together
Learning a new skill or taking up a new hobby can be a great way to spend quality time with your partner and try something new. It could be something as simple as cooking classes or as challenging as rock climbing. Whatever you choose, make sure it's something that both of you are interested in and will enjoy doing together.
Idea: Each of you write down a new hobby you want to try, swap notes and the other person plans it as an experience for you both to explore! Some great research has shown how seeing your partner in a new light or new situation can help increase passion in your relationship as well.
3. Make an effort to improve communication
Good communication is key to any successful relationship, and it's something that can always be improved upon. Make an effort to really listen to your partner and try to understand their perspective, and be open and honest in your own communication as well.
Idea: Consider setting aside dedicated time each week to have meaningful conversations and check in with each other. Couply is the perfect place to record your check-ins with this feature built into the app.
4. Prioritize Quality Time
With busy schedules, kids and the demands of daily life, it can be easy for couples to fall into a routine and lose the spark that brought them together in the first place. Make an effort to prioritize quality time with your partner.
Idea: Bring Date night back! Whether that means going on a date night once a week or simply making some time to cuddle up on the couch with all the snacks and your drinks of choice and talking together while having some time away from your phones, kids, in-laws and TV.
5. Practice Gratitude
Focusing on the positive aspects of your relationship can help strengthen your bond and improve your overall happiness as a couple. Make a habit of expressing gratitude towards your partner, and try to find the silver lining in any challenges that come your way.
Idea: If you find yourself being critical or getting upset, re-imagine the situation where your partner is the hero of the story and their intentions are good. Sometimes, this shifts your perspective and you can see things in a new light. (If it doesn’t, it’s time to address as per No.3!)
Starting the new year off on the right foot can set the tone for the rest of the year. Use Couply the best app for couples in 2023 to help!
