The Simple Things

By: Jay Dee, MPH

Bonding with your partner over a shared favorite series is more than just a weekly habit—it’s a quiet, meaningful form of intimacy.

You and your partner may not always love the same genres, but when you both genuinely enjoy a show together, cherish it. That mutual interest is more powerful than it seems—it becomes a ritual, a reason to slow down and connect.

Watching a series together can do so much more than pass the time. It can:

1. Spark Deep, Interesting Conversations

From debates over characters to unpacking storylines, you get a chance to learn more about your partner’s perspectives, values, and even their sense of humor.

2. Carve Out Intentional Alone Time

In a world that constantly pulls you in different directions, reserving time to do something simple and enjoyable together is a way of saying, “You matter to me.”

3. Strengthen Emotional Bonds

Routines build closeness. That “just us” feeling you get while curled up watching your show fosters emotional security and comfort.

And listen—don’t betray the bond by watching ahead without them (LOL)! That shared storyline is sacred, so treat it like a ritual. And while you’re at it, put the phones down. Let the time be just for you two, uninterrupted and fully present.

P.S. Don’t forget to keep investing in solo intimacy, too. Document what makes you feel good, what turns you on, and what deepens your sensuality. That’s how you grow with yourself and in your relationship. Click here to explore the best tool to guide your self-pleasure journey.
