How do you spend couple time?

Question

My husband suggested the other day that we start spending time together after we put our son to bed instead of going off and doing our own thing every night. I loved the idea.
Flash forward to tonight when we put our son to bed. It was now "couple time" . We ended up spending about 5-10 minutes sitting on the couch in silence trying to find anything to talk about, we both remarked how pitiful it was that we had no idea how to spend our together time, and then we just pulled out our phones and went and did our own thing.
For those who spend time with their significant others on a daily basis what do you do with that time? We aren't tv people, I don't play video games, and my husband doesn't like puzzles.

Answer

Following for more ideas.  For us it's fishing but we don't have kids yet.

Answer

Board games or cards ? My husband and I enjoy playing operation! We also play chess or checkers or sometimes we have roast sessions and make fun of each other and other days he randomly attacks me with tickles. Even a movie night would be suffice. If not you could both compromise on something you both like to do

Answer

My husband and I have been together for 9 years so I can definitely relate to the “sitting in silence trying to figure out what to talk about” lol. Try out some board games. My husband and I really like Ticket to Ride (and my husband usually doesn’t like board games) Or just watching movies together. Reading books together. Even just cuddling with each other while you’re on separate phones.

Answer

After kids go to bed, talking, tv or a movie, sex.  If the kids are in school and we have the day off together, dog walk, coffee, Costco, sex, tv, movies, talking.  We love hanging out together. We just booked a cruise from Japan to Vancouver and our total trip alone together will be nearly three weeks. I’m so excited to hang out together.

Answer

Netflix. Taking our dogs for walks. General hiking or exercise. Sometimes we read together. Going out for meals. Cooking. But we always have plenty to talk about

Answer

Games, just talking (subjects are a wide range—our days, news going on in our city/country/otherwise, goals for that week or month, dreams), cooking together, sitting and listening to new music...

Answer

We play games. All types. Uno is a new favorite. Scrabble is another. We also play video games together (ones that have us as teammates and a good story). We also watch YouTube videos (people who cook large meals, eat large meals). It sounds like you both should be more open minded about activities because there’s a few you’re missing out on and might actually come to enjoy once done together.

Answer

We so pretty much anything together. If he needs to fix the truck, I'll stand out there with him the whole time just to chit chat. In the summer we got fishing/boating a lot. We play video games together, or board games like Scrabble. Sometimes we just sit on the couch and talk. Sometimes he likes to show me a song he heard that day and liked, or show me a video he took of something at work and we'll chat about that, or he'll tell me any work drama that happened and I'll tell him all the mischief our pets got into that day. But our main thing is tv shows. We'll watch stuff like The Bachelor or Survivor and gossip to each other about it like 'omg she seems so fake!' or 'he better not give that one lady a rose tonight!' And stuff like that

Answer

Board games, painting, little crafts or diy projects, movies, bake something, card games

Answer

My fiance and I like to make dinner together and watch a TV show that we are both into. We look for shows or movies to watch that interest us both. It's nice to come home after a long day and just relax and watch TV. We also clean up the kitchen together and just talk about anything. I'd say our biggest thing is movies and shows though. We get excited about what's going on or what we think might happen next in the show.
