When was the last time you and your partner spoke like you really spoke? The truth is, it can be really difficult to keep the conversation alive, especially if you’re in a long-term relationship. With all the hustle and bustle of your daily lives, there’s little to no time to genuinely catch up with each other. And when you do it usually centres around work or the kids.
So how do you build intimacy with your partner? Well, we all admittedly enjoy a good Netflix binge as a way to unwind together (fair warning, do not watch an episode ahead without your partner), but are you really sharing a moment together? There are other things that you and your partner can do to spend time together and strengthen your relationship. And one of those is card games!
There are many different kinds of card games, and some of our favourites for couples are those that serve as conversation starters. Imagine the joy of discovering things about your partner you didn’t know before in a fun, playful way. Free from stress or judgement, card games for couples open the door to healthy communication. In this article, we’ve curated a list of relationship card games that you can try out with your partner.
Without further ado, let’s check them out and let the game night begin!
