My favorite things

      You can make a fun date experience just about anywhere....even Walmart! See how well you know each others' favorite things like movies, books, and food. First, go to the movie section and find 3 of your favorite ones.  If you can’t find your favorite movies, pick out 3 that you would really like to see. Remember them or write the titles down on a notepad or smart phone. Don’t tell each other what they are. Now, pick out the 3 movies you think your spouse chose. Share with each other and see if you were right! Do the same thing in the candy, book, and music isles.

If you want to continue, go to the jewelry and ice cream sections. You can make this a fun, “get to know you better” date with any section in Walmart. And if you want to extend this date, bring home your spouse's favorite candy or ice cream and a new movie!

 

Staying up to date on your spouses inner world increases what John Gottman calls your Love Map. Your Love Map is everything you know about your partner- his or her current stresses, favorite TV shows,  most embarrassing moments, bucket list, etc. How are you supposed to love someone so much if you don’t really know them? Increase your Love Map at Walmart!
