When couples lose their sense of play and fun together

My husband and I used to be the couple who would build blanket forts on rainy Sundays and have dance parties in our kitchen, but now we just collapse on the couch every night scrolling our phones in silence. We both keep saying we should 'do something fun' but then we never actually do it, and I'm starting to worry we've forgotten how to play together.
