Everyone has fears, and you should get over them. Married people probably have different fears, but you might share something similar. Do you both fear heights? If so, it might be a good idea to go to the highest building you can find. Conquering your fears is an important part of personal growth. If you can both conquer the same fear at once, you'll get over a mountain that most don't. You will grow as a couple if the two of you can overcome your fears, and that will have a lasting impact on your relationship. Sit down together and make a list of your fears. Then discuss which ones you'd like to tackle with each other's help.

Juggling classes are a thing, and you don't need to want to be a clown to attend them. Juggling is a fun activity if you're blessed with great hand-eye coordination.

A date night filled with laughs is what you should expect if you're planning on taking a juggling class. Don't be surprised if you don't get the hang of juggling right away because it takes quite a bit of time learning to pull off what a clown makes look easy.

A soccer date can be a head to head battle, or you can just kick the ball around. Playing soccer is great exercise, and it also gets you out of the house.

Everyone has a mental bucket list of sorts, and it's essential to clear off as many items as possible. It's good to express these desires by writing down your bucket list and it's the perfect thing to share with your spouse. As a date, write down individual lists or a shared list that you want to work on. You can even add categories or make separate lists that are themed. Then take your lists and plan dates around checking things off. Your bucket lists are going to change as you age, and you'll have to modify them accordingly. Always keep each other up-to-date as to what's on your bucket list so you can continue planning dates and checking things off together.

Hitting the gym is a fantastic way for a couple to connect. A gym date is a way to work on your bond while also paying close attention to your health. A married couple who works out together has an advantage that most singles don't, and that is they can help each other. You can spot your spouse and also help them with the equipment. Your workout will be much more in-depth if you do it with a partner. Having your spouse right there can also be a great motivation as you work on your shared fitness goals.

By the time you are at the foot of the hill you'll be smiling and belting out all kinds of laughter.

For those of you who don't know, zorbing is when you roll down a hill in an orb or a big balloon-like ball. You can go down a hill or a slightly sloped area. Sure, you can go flat, but it's best to go a little downgrade to make it easier. Zorbing is one of those things that you can only do by yourself. Still, it's a whole lot of fun while you're on a date. If you're thinking that rolling around in a plastic ball is ridiculous you're right - and that's part of why it's so much fun. Each of you can take turns zorbing while the other makes a video of it.

Churches, soup kitchens, and food banks all need volunteers. Your next date night could help those in need while also increasing your bond.
