For more ideas on how to keep your relationship interesting, 19 couples spill what they do together that isn’t considered “normal.”
The dance
This one is too adorable. This Redditor and his wife have a dancing ritual whenever he comes home from work.
They do a little dance while singing the Bollywood song, “Mera Piya Ghar Aaya” (My love has reached home). Then, they hug and greet.
The kissing monster
“We have a ‘Kiss Monster’ (spoiler alert: it’s me with a blanket over my head), that visits my SO every now and gives him loads of kisses before slinking off again into the night.
We have never acknowledged that I am in fact, the Kiss Monster.” – u/u/FinSonic
The inverted kiss
“Instead of kissing the lips, one of us surprises the other by opening their mouth big and covering the other party’s puckered up lips. It’s like kissing the void. It feels really [expletive] uncomfortable and it’s hilarious. She always does it to me when I’m expecting a kiss.” – u/ask-design-reddit
The clothespin
This couple has a 17-year running game of stealthily pinning a clothespin to the other’s clothes. You never know when the other person will strike! There could be no clothespin for months, and then bam, one is in your armpit.
The bread
“Well, I just wrapped her up in a brown blanket, rolled her back and forth in bed and told her ‘Shhhhh be bread, it’s okay, just be bread, shhhh, loaf-girlfriend, it’s okay to become bread’ while she cackled and screamed ‘I DON’T WANT TO BE BREAD.'” – u/ThirdFloorNorth
The hoot
“We hoot like owls at each other and call each other ‘hooter’ as pet names. It started shortly after we got together and neither of us can remember how. But we’ll be sitting in silence, each doing our own thing, and one of us will just say “hoot!’ into the quiet, and the other replies in kind. It’s sort of a ‘Doing good? Me too. Love you.’ thing.” – u/lillithfair4
The game of rock, paper, scissors
This couple invented a game of rock, paper, scissors with kissing! Basically, mouth closed is rock; mouth open is paper, and tongue sticking out is scissors. They play at random times so they can catch each other by surprise and win!
The racecar
“Dated a Swede for a few years. When he taught me how to say I Love You in Swedish, Jag Älskar Dig, I remembered how to pronounce it by saying it as Jog Racecar Day. For the rest of our relationship whenever we wanted to say ‘love you’ or would give each other cards etc, we would just say Racecar.” – u/vinoKwine
The detectives
“Sometimes when I answer the phone I become Detective Tony Pepperoni, and he’s Cheesy Steve and the Saucy Boys. There’s never really any warning, it just kinda happens and it gets pretty intense.” – u/MiaKatRio
The penis drawings
LOL. This Redditor doesn’t remember how this started, but they hide the same penis drawing for the other one to find. When he went on a hunting trip with his friends, his girlfriend put one in his suitcase for him and his friends to find.
The yawn
“My BF and I have an on-going thing were we poke a finger in the other’s gaping maw when they’re halfway into a yawn. Whoever has accomplished this most recently is the alpha partner. It feels like an incredible violation to have done to you, but doing it so incredibly fun that we allow it.” – u/EmergencyLychee
The mating dance
“We have a mating dance that has gotten increasingly elaborate in the decade we have been together. Example moves: slapping one’s own butt, moving one’s arms like a choo choo train, one handed clapping. Some of the moves go out of fashion year to year, but we have a significant repertoire.” – u/deleted
The WYK rule
This stands for “would you kindly.” If one person says it, the other person must do what is asked, no matter what. It could be something benign or something very silly. It works for them because they trust one another to not abuse it for evil.
The Exorcism.
“Sometimes he puts his mouth over my nose and blows, causing me to make a horrific, monstrous sound of air coming through my nasals and out of my mouth. We call this The Exorcism.
It’s gross and weird but I love that we can be gross and weird together.” – u/lululemonkush
The pet names
“Me and my girlfriend have started using very random and increasingly complex pet names when we answer a phone call from one another. It’s so often now that sometimes i’ll forget and in public loudly answer with ‘hello my Persian tropical ice cream sweety watermelon minx.'” – u/joeyboii23
The belly rub
This couple loves the feeling of their skin touching. So when they were on a hike, they were being silly and decided to lift their shirts up and rub their bellies together. Well, at that moment, a man came around the corner on his bike and saw them!
The cat
“We make up very elaborate stories about our cats lives.
‘Where’s Big Cat?’
‘Oh, she’s in Taipei today consulting with the Ukrainian Ambassador about the current standing of the silver industry. She’ll be back later though because tomorrow she’s chartering to Mars at 0600.'” – u/undergroundramen
The sneeze
“Whenever he sneezes, I shout as aggressively as I can SHUT UP. To which he responds even louder, YOU SHUT UP. This is everywhere. At home, in public, it doesn’t matter. It’s gotten to the point where I consciously have to stop myself from shouting at anyone else who sneezes.” – u/SoManyStarWipes
The smush
“I literally make my boyfriend lay on top of me completely pretty much face to face. The pressure comforts me and I’m warm and he’s still touching me without getting too hot.” – u/that_ginger18
