2013 Hanky Panky Challenge
/
The Hanky Panky challenge is a challenge for those in a committed
relationship to engage in some kind of “hanky panky” every day for the entire
month of February (28 Days). Now, I looked up the definition of “hanky panky” and it was
not the definition I was hoping for … so I thought I should clarify what I mean
by "hanky panky".
WHAT IS THE HANKY PANKY CHALLENGE?
Here is what I have learned over the years of issuing this "Hanky Panky Challenge" to couples. For the guys it means one thing, and for the girls it may mean yet another, so let this blog be your guide. I am encouraging those in a committed relationship to take the month of February and focus on their relationship by creating moments of intentional intimacy “hanky panky” with each other every day, a total of 28 days. It's a challenge in itself just making time to connect every day! It’s really about making your relationship a priority. So whether you connect purely for physical intimacy (intercourse - hopefully no diagrams are needed here) which most dudes are probably hoping for, OR lots of other relationship building activities, such as, but not limited to:

So whether you connect purely for physical intimacy (intercourse - hopefully no diagrams are needed here) which most dudes are probably hoping for, OR lots of other relationship building activities, such as, but not limited to:
- Kissing
- Touching
- Tickling
- Massages
- Foot rubs
- Bubble bath together
- Listening to Kenny-G
- Washing each other’s hair
- Pillow talk
- Praying together
- Read romantic book
- Watch Dr. Phil – sorry,
just kidding!
- Watching a romantic movie
(not Texas Chainsaw)
- Cooking dinner together
(tip: Dude, wash the dishes!)
- Long talks
- Long walks
- Write a meaningful note to
one another and read aloud
- Write a song and sing to
each other
- Share a bottle of Wine while
talking (do this naked, and don’t touch for an hour, so fun! )
- Go on a romantic date (Do what you did to capture her heart, and do those things again to keep her heart)
Side note here: Many times this
is what I see missing in people's relationship; everything that I have mentioned
above is forgotten or even completely absent after a year or so of being
together. Simply, we take each other for granted, we are too busy (or we
feel we are too busy) to make real time for building and working on our relationship. Yet when I talk to couples about their schedule I
see that there are many opportunities in their “busy schedule” for
intimacy, but it’s filled up with TV, Sports, Hobbies, Kids stuff,
friends, facebook, and just a lot of busy-stuff.
