How To Be Playful With Your Partner
Life is about having fun, right? And if you can have fun with the one you love, even better! Laughter is the secret sauce to a happy relationship—nothing bonds you like a good laugh, especially when it involves a little mischief.
So, why not shake things up and make your daily life a little more playful? Forget the seriousness of adulting, and let yourself be goofy and spontaneous. Here are some hilarious ways to bring more fun, joy, and giggles into your relationship:
1. Tickle Fight!
Who says tickling is only for kids? Tickling each other is a classic move that never goes out of style. Try sneaking up behind them when they least expect it and see how long they can hold in the laughter. But beware—you might unleash a tickle war!
2. The Prankster’s Delight
Keep your partner on their toes with harmless pranks. Whether it’s switching their phone language to something they can't read or wrapping their favorite snack in 100 layers of plastic wrap, the goal is simple: get them to laugh (and maybe also wonder if they’ve accidentally married a prank master).
3. Board Games + Bad Sportsmanship = Comedy Gold
There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned board game to bring out your competitive side. But the real fun comes when you turn every game into a mini drama. Think Monopoly but with over-the-top celebrations and comically dramatic complaints when you lose.
4. Card Games + Ridiculous Rules
Take a simple card game like Uno and add your own ridiculous rules. For example, every time someone plays a reverse card, they have to do a silly dance. Or, every time someone draws a card, they must shout "I’m the king/queen of this game!" Get creative and enjoy the chaos.
5. Swing Set Shenanigans
Sometimes, you need to stop in at a park just to swing like kids again. Don’t just sit there—get competitive about it! Challenge each other to see who can swing the highest, or have a race to see who can get the highest in the shortest amount of time. Bonus points if you can make a "whoa!" sound effect as you reach the peak of your swing.
6. Piggyback Rides (Because Why Not?)
Nothing says "I love you" like jumping on your partner’s back for an impromptu piggyback ride. Don’t wait for them to offer—just hop on and see how they react. Bonus: This is also a great way to sneak in some extra hugs and laughs while making them do all the work.
7. Pillow Fight! (No Rules)
Let’s face it: pillow fights are the epitome of childish joy. Grab a pillow and swing it at your partner. The only rule? No holding back. (Okay, maybe don’t hit them too hard, but you get the idea.) The best part? The inevitable giggling that follows.
8. Chocolate Body Paint
This one's for when you want to take things to the next level of playful. Grab some chocolate body paint (or regular body paint if you're feeling artsy) and turn your partner into a canvas. Make it a masterpiece or a funny doodle—either way, it’s bound to end in both of you laughing and licking the evidence off (who knew playtime could be so sweet?).
9. The Kiss Gag
The next time your partner leans in for a kiss, fake gag and act like you're about to lose your lunch. The look on their face as they try to process what just happened is guaranteed to make you crack up. It’s like a kiss—just with a twist. (But maybe don’t do it every time... or do!)
10. Yawn Interruption
When your partner yawns, casually (but sneakily) stick your finger in their mouth. Watch their face contort with confusion as they try to figure out what just happened. You'll probably burst out laughing, and they’ll never yawn the same way again.
Life is about having fun, is it not? And especially with the ones we love.
The Secret to a Fun Relationship? Don’t Take Yourself Too Seriously!
At the end of the day, the best thing you can do for your relationship is keep things light and playful. Life’s tough enough, so why not find joy in the silly, unexpected moments with the one you love? Whether you’re pulling pranks, having pillow fights, or sharing chocolate-covered laughs, it’s these little acts of playfulness that keep the fun alive.
So, go ahead and try these out, but don’t forget to let your partner get in on the fun too! Laughter is contagious, after all.
