Game night with the boys
Today, I was thinking about some of the best relationship advice I’ve ever been given: make a schedule/weekly routine with your partner. It’s not just about keeping both of you on the same page, but also about making time for yourself and the things that matter to you.
One of the best things I’ve implemented in my adult life is game night with the boys. It happens every Wednesday at 8:30 p.m. It doesn’t always happen, and not everyone shows up, but it’s expected. Wednesday night is game night. If I can’t make it, I let the boys know.
This is quality time that I need. I don’t think men get enough time with their friends, and that time is essential for our mental health. Having a scheduled night to unwind, talk, and just enjoy a game together has been one of the best decisions I’ve made.
I hope we can keep this going until the end.
