Hard to say honestly. I think we just have a lot of plans and also work to make things fun. I try to think a lot about being the one that brings fun to the table. It’s not that hard to turn mundane things into funny things with just the tiniest bit of play thrown in.

I think there is a major element too of not letting your partner’s anxiousness or frustration become the source of your emotional state. Don’t mirror them. Turn it around.

Example: my wife had to go to the DMV the other day, and she is not only an introvert, but hates the govt and stupid processes with a passion, so she was NOT happy. And I just kept laughing in a “picking on you” way that she had to go stand with a bunch of strangers to wait in line for the opportunity to deal with the govt, and she couldn’t resist. She ended up giggling at my amusement before going to get in line.

Don’t agree for the sake of agreement, poke fun, disagree about which movies and songs are good, be honest and don’t be insecure.

Disagreement is the lowest cost way to have fun if done playfully. She likes the purple drink? Of course you do, purple is the dumbest drink they’ve got. And just never stop I guess. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I don’t know, that’s just part of how I think about it. Might just all depend on the person you’re with, but I just think finding ways to make mundane things fun is a major part of it, or everything will just stay mundane. And most of life is if you don’t bring a little spice with you 😆
