My DH and I have been married for a little under two years...but together for over 15. Overall, we have always been joking, flirting, teasing, and playful...I think more so now than even in the beginning of our relationship. We did go through a bad couple years around Years 6-7 and those behaviors decreased because of it.
We compliment each other all the time. We meaningfully tell each other we love each other at least every other day, in fact we never say "I love you" or "Love ya" as we're running out the door or an automatic closure to a phone conversation. I'm not saying that's bad for couples who do have that habit, but for us we tend to say it unexpectedly and when it has full meaning.
My DH always holds my hand. He teases me and jokingly chastises me, if I get to a door first and start to open it without waiting for him to open it for me.
We make "nickel" bets all the time, if we disagree about a fact or a story. For example, he swore Australia is a bigger land mass than the U.S. I told him he was wrong. Oh yeah, it's nickel bet time. I won that one, BTW. Though Australia is surprisingly larger than it looks.
I'll post more, as I think of more
. What are some of your Flirty/Playful stories, @hispresence?
He's not my husband but four years and we're ring shopping that might seem like nothing to the vets who's been married longer than I've been alive, LOL!
I had him cracking up a few nights ago. I told him that when we're old we'd go into a sex shop and start asking the help all kinds of questions and make comments about positions and ask if we can take stuff out of the packages and so forth.
Our friend says we're terrible, but butt slapping, winking, anything to get a laugh smile or reaction we do it.
Before we even dated we kissed each others cheek constantly, teased each other about dumb things... And things like that Those things still happen to this day.
We also show each other we love each other. We save I love you for things like.... Lets say... Before he leaves for work in the morning when he kisses me goodbye for the day, right before we go to sleep along with our goodnight kiss, of course after sex, and if we fight or someone feels upset for some reason. Other than that, he holds doors open, I do little things around the house that he notices and thanks me for, he gets e flowers every now and then, and just... we take care of each other (and our son of course).
