Why a Couple Should Have Light Moments of Dance and Games

-


A couple should absolutely have light moments of games and dance—and here’s why:

1. It Builds Connection

Games and dance get you laughing, moving, and reacting together in real time. That breaks the routine and pulls you out of “life admin mode” into us mode. It’s playful bonding that strengthens emotional intimacy.

2. It Reduces Stress

Marriage can involve heavy conversations, responsibilities, and pressures. A silly game or a spontaneous dance break is like an emotional reset button. You breathe easier, laugh off tension, and remember that life together doesn’t always have to be so serious.

3. It Sparks Joy and Chemistry

Fun moments release feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin—the same stuff that fueled your attraction in the early days. That quick dance in the kitchen or goofy charades night? It keeps the spark alive without needing a fancy date.

4. It Creates Shared Memories

You probably won’t remember every dinner or Netflix night, but you will remember the time you tried to salsa and failed hilariously, or when you teamed up to win a couple’s trivia game. These become the inside jokes and “remember when…” moments that add depth to your relationship story.

5. It Keeps Things Light in a Heavy World

Life throws enough seriousness your way—careers, bills, family demands. Fun moments are the couple’s way of saying: we still choose joy, with each other, no matter what’s going on around us.

6. It Strengthens Teamwork

Cooperative games (or even friendly competition) teach you how to read each other, communicate better, and have each other’s backs. That translates into stronger dynamics beyond just the fun stuff.

Bottom line:
Games and dance aren’t distractions. They’re maintenance for your connection.
So put on that playlist, grab a board game, or make up your own challenge—because the couples who play together don’t just stay together…
They actually enjoy the ride.

  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting. So I thought—let’s unpack this properly. Tonight, I want us to look at both sides of the age gap coin : When the woman is older When the man is older   We’ll look at benefits , challenges , some biblical perspective , and even what research says about this. Because at the end of the day, age might be just a number—but maturity, purpose, and vision are what make a...

When She Finally Understood His Role...

  "When She Finally Understood His Role..." A story every couple needs to hear As a relationship coach and mentor, I’ve walked with many couples through seasons of frustration, misunderstanding, and silent tension. But one story still sticks with me—because it mirrors the unspoken struggles so many homes are facing today. Let me tell you about James and Lydia. The Marriage That Was "Fine"—But Fading When James and Lydia came to me, they weren’t on the verge of divorce. No drama, no scandal, just… distance. Lydia felt emotionally abandoned. James felt misunderstood and tired. They were doing life together—raising kids, managing bills, going to church—but the connection was thinning out. Lydia put it like this: “Coach, he’s a good man. But he’s not present. He doesn’t talk. He doesn’t help as much as I need. I feel like I’m carrying this marriage alone.” When I asked James how he saw things, he said something that stopped me: “I don’t know what else to do, Coach. I w...

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man

The Quiet Exit of a Good Man By Coach Davie Lisa didn’t think she was doing anything wrong. She loved Caleb. He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
