Travel

Be adventurous during the holidays. How? Pack light and embark on a fun-themed trip with your partner. While at your destination, try something new: especially a wild sex position or sex at a venue where you've never had it. This helps to relieve stress as couples tend to sleep sound after such hectic sexual encounters.

Also, engage in a new hobby: paragliding, swimming, hiking - anything that is fun and involves some exercise.
