No Cell Sundays 3

The irony is not lost on me that I'm posting from my phone. 
So we heard about this a couple months ago. It made me think of the time when cell phones were no more than pagers that could occasionally make a call in a good service zone.
The challenge was to put our phones aside for a majority of Sunday (with the exception of speaking to family). No Facebook, shermery, texting, anything.
We didn't notice a difference until we found ourselves playing board games or card games like we used to when we were kids. Now, we avoid our phones except for emergency incoming calls.
It's not that our marriage was bad, but apparently could use some improvement! We listen to each other more, have a better love life, and feel more connected to each other than ever. It's working fantastically.
Both of us were surprised at the outcome. It reminds us of our early days together and, over the past few months, we've grown incredibly closer. It seems we needed this disconnect to reconnect.
Has anyone else tried this? We did it ad a gag, and it's stuck. Outside of one other couple, nobody else has survived the challenge.
We've picked up cycling, roller blading, extra walks in the park (and mushroom hunting), picnics.. the list goes on. Cooking dinner together more often than just taking turns etc.
Things couldn't be better.
Have you tried a disconnect to reconnect?

We do this once a week and it is grand. Board games, relaxing background music and nice conversation. It has been great for us. This is the closest thing I have to social media, I hate being "plugged in" but find myself guilty of it sometimes as well, really nice to disconnect.

That sounds lovely OP.
I would like to try that, but my GF is hopelessly addicted to Facebook. And im hopelessly addicted to Shroomery too 
But we do have our moments of watching TV and talking during commercial. A small start.
I could see how having no phones would lead to more sex, since board games might get boring then lead to some steamy Sundays
