Things to Do at Home as a Couple
You're both home, both tired, and the default is another episode of something neither of you is really watching. That's not a bad night — it's just not a night you'll remember.
The reason the screen wins is that it's the lowest-effort option available, and after a long day effort is the scarce resource. So the alternative has to be nearly as easy: no setup, no planning, no getting dressed. A phone-based couples game clears that bar, which is why it survives contact with a Tuesday when more ambitious plans don't.
Try it during the fifteen minutes you'd normally spend scrolling for something to watch. That window is already dead time, so nothing is lost.

Frequently asked questions
What can couples do at home instead of watching TV?
The realistic answer has to be low-effort, or you'll default back to the screen. Games designed for two, cooking something together, or any short shared ritual all work. The bar isn't 'more impressive than television' — it's 'requires about as little energy as television'.
