Feel close again.
One little moment at a time.

We've been married for 6 years. Somewhere between work, groceries, and family responsibilities, we stopped doing little things together. I didn't even realise how much I missed that until we started Milu. Last week, we sat talking for almost an hour after one of the activities. I can't remember the last time that happened.

Okay, I genuinely did not expect my husband to enjoy this 😂 He usually rolls his eyes at anything remotely romantic. But three days in, he was the one reminding me about our little evening activity. So yeah, that was a surprise.

Two kids. Two full-time jobs. Absolutely no energy left by 9 pm. These little activities have been such a nice way to spend time together without having to organise a whole date night. Some days we manage five minutes, some days longer. It works for us.

Nine years together and apparently I still don't know everything about her. Who knew? We did this question about childhood memories and I ended up hearing a story she'd never told me before. Pretty cool, actually.

Simple, thoughtful, and surprisingly fun. We've already bookmarked a few activities to do again. Really happy we gave it a go!

My wife bought this and asked me to try it with her. I thought it would be some serious relationship counselling type thing. First activity we did was a silly guessing game and we ended up arguing about whether I'd rather go to Goa or stay home and sleep 😂 Turns out she knows me better than I thought. We're enjoying it.

I think what I liked most was having something to look forward to after work. Usually we eat dinner, scroll through our phones, and call it a night. Now we have our little 15-minute thing. Nothing fancy, but it's become my favourite part of the evening.

We missed a few days and just picked up where we left off. No pressure, no catching up. That flexibility is what made it work for us.

I work long hours, and by the time I'm home I don't always have the energy for long conversations. My wife and I tried the five-minute activities first. Eventually we started doing the longer ones too. One evening she told me something she'd been excited about for weeks, and I realised I hadn't really asked her about it. I'm glad we had that conversation.

Honestly, I bought it on a whim. I thought we'd try a couple of activities and forget about it. But here we are, still doing them. We've laughed a lot, had some lovely conversations, and even planned a little weekend date because of one of the prompts. Money well spent for us.

After almost 10 years of marriage, you get used to certain routines. There was this activity where we had to remember the little things we appreciated about each other. My husband mentioned something I'd done months ago that I had completely forgotten. I don't know why, but hearing him say that made me really happy. Such a small thing, but I still think about it.

I like that it doesn't make everything so serious. We can be silly, skip questions, laugh at our answers, whatever. It feels like spending time with my partner, which is exactly what I wanted.
