    So it's a staring competition? If O.H.and I did these the only thing I would trust him to do is to laugh at me. But hey ho whatever floats your boat or bonds your trust .

    Sounds like a load of hippy dippy clap trap to me. You shouldn't need to increase the connection/bond/trust between you, it should already be there. Otherwise why would you be with your partner?

    Increasing something is not the same as already being there, so linking the two things doesn't make sense. You are suggesting a that a bond or connection between partners can't be improved.

    It might not be your thing - it's not mine either. But there's no need to put the OP down by saying she "shouldn't need to". Clearly they had fun and were simply looking for more ideas. :)

    In my opinion it can't. Trust is either there or it isn't. I trust my husband totally, I really don't see why I'd need to increase that or indeed how I even could, because it's there already. If I needed to increase it, then I obviously don't trust him fully in the first place iyswim?

    I was merely giving my opinion. If you took it in a bad way, then that's your problem not mine. ;)

    Do you really think that staring into someone's eyes for 5 minutes engenders trust & bonding?
    Especially when you're giggling?
    Seriously?

    DH and I went on a couples massage class - just an hour, very basic, some ideas for (non-sexual but could be sexy if you wanted) things we could do together. We really enjoyed it.
