Your relationship has lost its playfulness

Ah, you have become excellent managers and forgotten you were once playmates — a very common and very fixable drift. You have become partners in logistics, not in play — the schedules and chores squeezed out the play that once ran between you, so you have not fallen out of love but into management, and the play has simply had no room. Bring back the teasing, the jokes, the silliness — the private jokes, the flirtation, the shared laughter no one else is in on, deliberately reintroduced, rusty and self-conscious at first but done anyway, for the playfulness returns through these small delights. And do playful things together, not just efficient ones — the game, the adventure, the silly outing for no productive purpose, since a couple that only does useful things forgets how to delight in each other, while one that plays together stays young together. Guard some shared time for pure joint foolishness. What did the two of you used to do just for fun?
