There are couples who enjoy displaying grand gestures of affection, but there are also those who prefer enjoying the feelings of love in the quietest, most hidden ways possible. If you and your S.O. can relate to the latter, this write-up will help spice things up between you two

Let's face it, sometimes the universe pairs two people whose love languages are neither words of affirmation nor touch. Love comes in all gestures anyway; if you put it in the context of other emotions, you don't need to laugh to imply you're happy and you don't have to cower under a desk to imply you're scared.

Couples who do not like being too loud about their relationship amidst a large number of people may still enjoy a long and committed partnership in the comforts of privacy and solitude. If you and your loved one can relate, then you're in luck! Below are some activities that can keep your "chillationship" going:
