Dating can start to feel like a checklist. Romance can begin to resemble a résumé. We evaluate compatibility, goals, values and expectations—but somewhere along the way, we can forget one of the simplest ingredients of connection:

From flying kites and playing tennis to chess, games and the newly invented art of “Kazoo Charades,” KAT and Jeff share stories from their own relationship and examine why playfulness can create connection at any age.
