The honeymoon period is the best and most beautiful time for newlyweds to enjoy together. And what can be more timeless to bond over and enjoy these wonderful moments than to engage in wholesome activities like board games?

It may sound dorky, but board games allow couples to have engaging quality time together, improve their communication and encourage healthy competition.

After our marriage, Gerson and I both agreed that rather than buying our a TV for our new home, we would instead purchase board games that we could play together or with our family and friends. Not only did it make so much difference to our budget plan we also spent most of our time with wholesome entertainment and memorable moments every day.

Without a doubt, board games are wholesome go-to newlywed activities that can make your bonding more fun and exciting!

Here are more reasons why board games are your best past time activity as newlyweds:

1. Opens communication

Since board games require working together or against each other to win, it gives you and your partner the opportunity to communicate and even learn more about each other’s likes and dislikes. And we all know this is important at the beginning of your marriage. So not only does it helps you learn more about your partner, but it also builds a foundation for a stronger relationship.

2. Builds Teamwork & Healthy Competition

Of course, other than communication, board games can also help build teamwork and unity as you create solutions in order to win. This is the same with making rivalries or competing with each other. By understanding your partner’s level of competitiveness, you are also learning about their way of thinking or approach to problems and how you can work together on that. You can even use this in the future as you overcome differences and work through challenges.

3. Strengthens Emotional Bond

Another life-improving benefit of board games is you can forge a bond where emotional intimacy comes into play. Because of the nature of the game where you have to communicate, strategize and get to know your co-player, board games encourage mutual enjoyment and friendship. According to studies, having fun together through play helps you feel positive emotions which increases relationship satisfaction.

4. Reduces Stress

A newlyweds home is often packed with endorphins from all the happiness of a new life ahead. But this doesn’t mean you won’t have room for more with all the stress from the outside world. Board games are a fun way to unwind and increase endorphins in your body which can lead to lower blood pressure and reduce risks of heart diseases. Which is why a lot of people would consider playing board games a great way to kick back and relax after a long day’s work.

5. Makes Budget-Friendly Date

Speaking about stress, board games are your best buddy for your budget. Because…you guessed it right…they are super cost-effective and don’t require as much spending as you need from other entertainment materials like TV, electronic gadgets, and the like. Some may be a bit expensive compared to others but when you compute your costs, you’ll notice how much you are actually saving for entertainment. Just think about your dates. Instead of spending money on fancy dinners or going out for movies, you can just open a box and play game together.

In conclusion, board games are a perfect way for newlyweds to bond and have quality time together. As happiness and laughter is a recipe for a healthy relationship, why not make it happen with a box of games to play whenever you can!

Always remember, you can make a newly-married life as happy as it can be by picking your choice of entertainment with the right ingredients.
