Activity options:

- build a love map
Here is a link for the color code test: Color Code test
A love map is your construct and knowledge of your partner/spouse. You build a love map by asking lots of questions. This website has a lot of good suggestions: Love Map website
These suggestions include asking about family, friends, work, hobbies, dreams, favorites, and feelings. You can come up with any question you like. What have you wanted to know about this person you're living with!
The most important thing is that you practice great listening skills. Try to not interrupt, finish sentences, compete with your own stories, undermine, quickly change subjects, etc. Let your partner loose and enjoy listening to them! Gather your information and learn learn learn.
Andrew and I took the color code test. I am half red/half blue and Andrew is one hundred percent white. Knowing this has helped us understand each other. I get confused when he says he really doesn't care what we eat for dinner and sometimes he gets confused when I demand we make cookies for some friend of ours. This knowledge is a fun way to learn more about each other!
