You spend the whole week working, maybe go out on Sunday, and then before you know it, it's Sunday evening and it’s time to go to sleep and do it all over again. That’s why, for many of us, it’s important to make every weekend a good one; whether you’re single or in a relationship, it’s important for you to do something fun on weekends. Here’s how couples spend their weekends vs. how singles do it.
Making plans for what to do and where to go
Couples:
Weekends are prime time to reconnect as a couple. On weekends, couples make plans and spend time with each other while they explore and take tiny weekend trips together.
Vs
Singles:
Singles, on the other hand, can usually look for new friendships. So they make plans for what to do and where to go on weekends. They hang out with friends and family and meet new people. Couples are a bit restricted because most of their interactions are with their partner.
Hangouts are good but with friends they're better
Couples:
Just because someone is in a relationship doesn’t mean they have to be with their partner all the time. Happy couples are secure enough to be okay with their partners hanging out with their friends, without them, on weekend. At times they need some private space, so they don’t suffocate each other. Having time apart encourages independence and freshness in a relationship. They will be happier for having time apart because it encourages independence and freshness in their relationship.
Vs
Singles:
But singles don't have to, they have friends with whom they can head out to have fun whenever they wish to.
Plan something fun to look forward to
Couples:
Even if it is the weekend, many can have work or things which keep them occupied, but most of the couples make some time to spend with each other and have fun. They work together to minimize the strain and maximize their relaxation and entertainment time. They cook food together and get outside to explore the real world. They know what makes their partner feel their best and help them achieve it.
Vs
Singles:
But singles find their own way to plan something fun, they will spend time, either with their pets or with themselves. They spend most of the weekends on leisure and sports. Leisure includes sleeping, listening to music, reading books, watching TV, playing games, and going to entertainment events. They also make some time participating in, attending, or watching sporting events, as well as exercising, and dancing.
Dinner dates on weekends
Couples:
Weekends are the best for a perfect romantic dinner date. Undoubtedly, such things can add to the feeling of love, a beautiful setting, some soothing music and dim lights make the date more memorable in every sense. Looking into each other’s eyes, while having something, talking of those moments that brought the two lovebirds together, makes all the worries of life fade away. It helps the relationship to rekindle the flame of love.
Vs
Singles:
And singles do it on a rather wilder note. They have made plans with their friends to get entertained on Saturday nights. They can call over all their not-in-love companions and talk about cherished memories and spend some good time with them.
Some other activities to do on weekends
Couples:
Some happy couples watch movies together on the weekend. It could be indoors streaming online or at movie theaters. The beauty of staying indoors and watching movie together is that it takes the couple out of the world temporarily and gets them occupied in another world entirely. It could be a great activity to do on weekends.
Vs
Singles:
Singles can have fun on their own. They can go wherever they want, see whatever they want, and eat wherever they want. Even if they just travel to the nearest city for the day, they savor the luxury of going at their own pace.
Summary
Couples spend more time on chores and planning something fun on weekends, whereas singles spend more time on adventurous activities, sleeping and personal care, leisure and sports. Overall, though, both groups spend more time sleeping and having fun than they do working.
