When couples turn pleasure into productivity and lose spontaneous joy

My partner and I have started planning our pleasures like business meetings — we schedule date nights and discuss what we should enjoy and somehow turned everything spontaneous and delightful into another project to optimize. We both feel like we're performing happiness for each other instead of actually finding it together.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The attempt to engineer delight has replaced the capacity to discover it organically together.
