In a world where adulting seems to dominate every hour of the day—deadlines, responsibilities, bills—it's easy to forget that play isn't just for kids. But when it comes to relationships, a playful spirit might just be the secret ingredient to lasting love.Playfulness in romance isn't about acting childish or dodging serious conversations. It's about injecting joy, curiosity, and spontaneity into the everyday. It's about sharing inside jokes that make no sense to anyone else, laughing at each other's ridiculous impressions, and building a connection that can weather the storms of life by dancing in the rain, metaphorically or literally.What Exactly Is Playfulness in a Relationship?Playfulness is the art of keeping things light. It's not a rejection of maturity but rather a bold commitment to finding joy together. It might look like tickle fights in the kitchen, goofy texts in the middle of the workday, or creating absurd nicknames that only you and your partner could ever understand.Research shows that couples who share these light-hearted moments report higher satisfaction, stronger emotional bonds, and even greater resilience in times of stress. In other words, a well-timed joke or a burst of shared silliness can be just as powerful as a heartfelt conversation.I find in my current relationship, and in relationships in the past, the more we are laughing, the better our relationship is doing. The less laughing, things got worse or they were already bad and we just stopped trying (that's past relationships - we are trying to play all the time in my current relationship). The Science Says: Play Is Serious BusinessPlayfulness might sound like fluff, but psychologists have found that it does some heavy lifting behind the scenes in relationships.According to several studies, playfulness strengthens emotional bonds by creating positive associations. When partners laugh and joke together, their brains release dopamine—the feel-good chemical that enhances connection and trust. It also helps defuse tension during conflict, offering a “reset” button when conversations get heated or misunderstandings pop up.Play also opens up space for creativity in communication. When partners feel safe enough to be silly or spontaneous, they're more likely to approach problems with an open mind and a collaborative spirit. This is critical when you've got kids as they present a challenge into themselves.How to Invite More Play Into Your RelationshipSo how does one actually be more playful in a relationship? It doesn't require a clown suit or a full-time comedy routine. It just takes intention and a willingness to break out of autopilot.Here are a few simple ways to get started:1. Embrace the Art of the Inside Joke Every couple has their own language—those shared references, silly phrases, or code words that trigger a smile or an eye roll. Cultivate those. They create a sense of intimacy that feels like a shared secret.2. Create Micro-Moments of Fun You don't need to book a weekend getaway to bring in some levity. Make funny faces across the dinner table. Add a ridiculous twist to your daily routines. Challenge each other to a sock-sliding contest down the hallway. It's the little things that add up.3. Don't Take the Mundane So Seriously Not everything has to be optimized, scheduled, or turned into a life lesson. Dance while doing the dishes. Narrate your errands in the voice of a sports commentator. Be willing to let go of being “normal” in favor of being fully present and absurdly joyful.4. Reconnect With Childhood Joys Board games, old cartoons, blanket forts—there's magic in revisiting the things you loved as a kid. Shared nostalgia not only sparks playfulness but can also lead to surprisingly meaningful conversations about who you were and who you've become.5. Keep the Flirt Alive Flirting isn't just for the early days. It's a playful way to say, “I still choose you.” That wink across the room, the spontaneous compliment, the playful teasing—it's all part of keeping the spark burning bright.The Role of "Ludus Love"Psychologists have identified a type of love known as "Ludus," which centers around play, teasing, and lighthearted flirtation. While it's often associated with more casual relationships, elements of Ludus can be essential even in long-term partnerships. By incorporating humor, spontaneity, and a touch of the unexpected, couples can avoid the trap of predictability and keep things feeling fresh.Playfulness, when paired with trust and emotional safety, can create a dynamic where joy becomes part of the foundation—not just a fleeting mood, but a shared value.What Playfulness Isn'tIt's important to clarify what playful love doesn't mean. It's not sarcasm at your partner's expense. It's not ignoring hard conversations or using jokes to avoid accountability. True playfulness comes from a place of connection, not criticism. It's about lifting each other up, not tearing each other down under the guise of “just kidding.”Why It Matters More Than EverIn an age of chronic stress and over-scheduled calendars, couples often slip into routine. Days blur into weeks, and romance becomes another task to manage. But play cuts through that fog. It reminds us that love doesn't have to be so serious all the time. That joy isn't a luxury—it's a necessity.When couples laugh together, they stay connected. They remember why they chose each other in the first place. They build memories that are filled not just with milestones, but with moments—spontaneous, weird, wonderful moments that don't need to be captured for social media to matter.The TakeawayPlayfulness is more than a nice-to-have. It's a relational superpower. Whether it's through a goofy dance, a made-up game, or a shared laugh at the end of a long day, injecting a little fun into your relationship can deepen your bond, improve communication, and keep the romance alive.So lighten up. Let go of the need to always be productive or polished. Make room for play. Because sometimes, the key to lasting love isn't grand gestures—it's being willing to be a little ridiculous, together.ReferencesAun, Wong, (2002); Antecedents and Consequences of Adult Play in Romantic Relationships; Personal Relationships 9(3), 279-286. https://doi.org/10.1111/1475-6811.00019Baxter, (1992); Forms and Functions of Intimate Play in Personal Relationships; Human Communication Research, 18(3), 336–363. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1468-2958.1992.tb00556.xBrauer, Proyer, Chick, (2021); Adult playfulness: An update on an understudied individual differences variable and its role in romantic life; Social and Personality Compass; 15(4). https://doi.org/10.1111/spc3.12589 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Improves Relationships; Psychology Today, August 15, 2024Gold, Timmons, et al (2024); A day in the life: Couples' everyday communication and subsequent relationship outcomes; Journal of Family Psychology, 38(3), 453–465 https://doi.org/10.1037/fam0001180 This research paper is summarized in the article How Playfulness Keeps a Romance Alive; Psychology Today, April 18, 2024.Metz, McCarty, (2007); The “Good-Enough Sex” model for couple sexual satisfaction; Sexual and Relationship Therapy 22(3), 351–362https://doi.org/10.1080/14681990601013492 Proyer, Ruch, (2011); The virtuousness of adult playfulness: the relation of playfulness with strengths of character; Psychology of Well-Being 1(4). https://doi.org/10.1186/2211-1522-1-4 This is a public episode.

* Czy zdarzyło Ci się doświadczyć kontuzji i pomyśleć, że to koniec (sportu dla Ciebie)?* Czy wiesz dlaczego warto zadbać o swoją aktywność fizyczną?* Czy kontuzje związane z uprawieniem biegów górskich muszą być pożegnaniem z ruchem jako takim?* Jak ruch wpływa na nasze zdrowie oraz zdolności poznawcze i kreatywność?* Jakie korzyści płyną z przegranych meczów koszykówki?Z tego odcinka dowiesz się dlaczego kontuzja może okazać się nie końcem, ale ciągiem dalszym, nowym początkiem sportowej drogi, oraz jak bardzo przegrana meczu koszykówki 9:152 może stać się motywacją do działania (a nie porażką) oraz czy ruch może być tanim i szybkim sposobem na stres, rozładowanie emocji i lepsze samopoczucie. Być może słuchanie/oglądanie tego odcinka – rozpoczęte na kanapie – dokończysz podczas SPACERU...? Obejrzyj krótkie porady i porzuć "sportkrastynację" na dobre! https://bit.ly/sportkrastynacjaAndrzejSilczuk Do rozmowy w kolejnym odcinku mojego podcastu zaprosiłem Natalię Tomasiak, osobą w ciągłym ruchu, która specjalnie dla nas w podróży z Trójmiasta do domu zahaczyła o moje studio w Warszawie, a dla której aktywność fizyczna stała się nieodłącznym elementem życia. Natalia zawsze – mimo różnych przeciwności losu – była aktywna fizycznie (trenowała koszykówkę, taekwondo i pływanie), a od ponad 10 lat jest odnoszącą sukcesy biegaczką górską oraz instruktorką narciarstwa skiturowego. Jak twierdzi: „Bieganie w górach to absolutnie nie to samo co biegnie na asfalcie czy na bieżni. Nie każdy ma predyspozycje do tego, by osiągnąć w tej aktywności najwyższy poziom, niemniej jednak prawie każdy może ją uprawiać jako amator. (…) Nagrodą za różnorakie trudy będą piękne widoki”. Moja rozmówczyni – autorka książki „Babskie góry” oraz współautorka publikacji „Przez polskie góry. Przewodnik biegacza” – prowadzi szkolenia, trenuje, zaraża śmiechem i pasją do gór. Pokazuje na swoim przykładzie, że ruch może być... pierwszą pomocą w różnego rodzaju dolegliwościach bólowych. Natomiast aktywność fizyczna, rozumiana jako forma profilaktyki, to sposób na kształtowanie w nas wytrwałości, samodzielności, dyscypliny, konsekwencji, odwagi i hartu ducha.Media Natalii:https://www.instagram.com/natalia_tomasiak/?hl=plhttps://www.facebook.com/NataliaTomasiakGS/?locale=pl_PLhttps://nataliatomasiak.pl/O roli, jaką odgrywa w naszym życiu ruch dowiesz się też z podcastu „Ruch i las.

What if the boldest career move you ever made was stepping away? Neha Ruch, founder of Mother Untitled and author of The Power of Pause, joins Carl to unpack the layered experience of pausing a high-powered career to prioritize family — and rediscover a deeper sense of self. Neha shares her journey as the daughter of Indian immigrants, growing up acutely aware of financial insecurity and the privilege of choice. She opens up about the clarity she found in early motherhood, the liberation in presence over productivity, and how she reframed staying home not as a step back, but as a bold act of agency. They also dig into the misconceptions surrounding stay-at-home parenting, the emotional balance sheet every family quietly navigates, and how intentional money conversations can build stronger, more equitable partnerships. ----------------------------- Follow Neha Ruch @motherunited Purchase The Power Pause Book: http://motheruntitled.com/thepowerpause —----------------------------- Follow 50 Fires on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/50firespod/ Please direct business inquires to: blindnilaudio@magnolia.com Cover Art: Josh Passler - TheFinArtist.com Music Credits: Alexandra Woodward / Rabbit Reggae / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Cody Francis / Wherever You're Going / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Easter Weekend at Emmanuel was amazing! It was so meaningful and so much fun to celebrate our risen Savior together. And Sunday's message was powerful! Pastor Nate preached “A Sunday Revolution.” Friday, the day of death, can represent the despair and the frustration of feeling like things aren't going as planned. Saturday can be that spot where we get stuck between the cross and the resurrection, where disappointment can take over. But Sunday is the day of hope, life and resurrection! Let's all step into Sunday and experience God's life-giving power! We also saw Wayde's story of life change, a reminder that God continues to transform people. If you couldn't join on Sunday morning, check out Pastor Nate's message.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Neha Ruch. Neha is the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women embracing family life. As a thought leader, influencer, and sought -after speaker, Neha's work is shifting the narrative around stay -at -home motherhood, empowering women to find confidence and purpose in their parenting journey. Her book, The Power Pause: How To Plan A Career Break After Kids - And Come Back Stronger Than Ever offers powerful insights for those navigating career pauses and identity shifts. I loved chatting with Neha so much because I find myself often living in the gray area in life. Things aren't very black and white in my brain and Neha really embraces that gray. It's not you work 40 plus hours a week or you stay at home. It's not this or that or forever and always. It's really looking at what's feasible in this season, what feels right in this season. And I have passed this book along to so many humans in my life who are finding themselves in that black and white and really looking for the gray. This is not just for folks who want to be a stay -at -home parent and leave the workforce or have been a stay -at -home parent and want to re -enter the workforce. It's for anyone who's a parent because it opens up our mind to so many things that we might have shoulds or should nots built in and biases around. I'm so stoked for y'all to get to tune in to this beautiful human and this conversation. All right. Let's dive in.

The Wounded Healer | The Me You Don't See | Pastor Jodi Ruch by Emmanuel Christian Center
I am thrilled to be back with each and every one of you for season 16—and I am thrilled to be joined by our guest today, Neha Ruch, author of The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids—and Come Back Stronger Than Ever, which came out January 14. We've all heard that phrase about having it all, about work/life balance (which I find to be a fallacy), and how to juggle it all, and Neha's book offers a really modern solution: the power pause, which she explains in this episode. After reading her book, truly, for the first time I thought, “I can actually maybe make all of my dreams work in life.” I learned about downshifting; about all of the stigma and shame that comes with being a stay-at-home parent, especially a stay-at-home mom; how to make the decision to take a career pause to settling into the day-to-day of a career pause to how to return from a career pause; how to make it work financially; how we become so attached to our job titles, and how to discover who we are beyond our titles; and how to find fulfillment in each stage of our lives, no matter where we're at. I also learned that a power pause is not a career dead end, and that we might actually be setting ourselves up for a career comeback that leaves us better off than before. We also talk about how to announce this on LinkedIn, how it should show up on our resumes, and so much more. I am really excited for you to hear this conversation with Neha, and I'd love to tell you a little bit about her and the work she's doing. First of all, The Power Pause has been so well-received—it's a USA Today bestseller, for starters! Neha is the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women leaning into family life that is catalyzing a shift in how society views stay-at-home motherhood. She lives in Manhattan with her husband, their two children, and their dog Coconut. Take a listen!The Power Pause: How to Plan a Career Break After Kids—and Come Back Stronger Than Ever by Neha Ruch
