Juggling jobs, kids, after-school activities, and more, it is hard to find time together as a couple. Setting aside one night a week as a Date Night helps relieve stress and keep the flame burning. If you don't have a honey to share with, grab your best pal!
Consider not leaving the Date to just nights, include any free time during the day or weekend.
Here are a few ideas.
Ideas for staying home.
1. Give each other a massage.
2. Cook a meal together.
3. Have breakfast in bed.
4. Have a movie marathon.
Ideas for going out.
5. Go out for dinner.
6. Skip dinner and just do dessert. Try sharing a huge banana split!
7. Visit a local bookstore or hobby shop.
8. Stop in your favorite coffee shop.
9. Bowling.
10. Take a walk at midnight and go stargazing.
11. Take a winery or brewery tour.
12. Balloon rides.
13. Attend a festival together.
HAPPY TT!

Some great ideas there - especially the staying home stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteI like anything which doesn't require spending a lot of money - or in #6's case, anything which involves dessert. ;)
Happy TT!
Love all of those!

A balloon ride sounds good. Maybe not til it warms up a bit, though.
ReplyDeleteI love this list! My husband and I go out every other Friday in the afternoon to eat lunch and watch a movie without the kids. But I'm taking notes from your list. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat list! All great ideas.
ReplyDeleteMost of mine and hubby's dates happen throughout the day while the kids are at school...out to breakfast is a favorie... or at home after they are in bed...a fun game of scrabble or cribbage is often on our agenda.
Excellent date suggestions, Mary!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas. Hubby and I go for a walk after dinner most nights. It's always nice chatting about our days.
ReplyDeleteThose are so nice...There is a lot of ways to make the night fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteBowling?
ReplyDeleteMmmm I don't know about that one. LOL!
I keep meaning to go on a hot air balloon ride with my mate. Inspiring list! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteSweet list, happy T13!
ReplyDeleteWe are pretty low key. #7 would about do it for us. we don't agree on most other items enough to spend time together doing them! Doh!
ReplyDelete#6 and #7 are favorites. Does Wii bowling count? *wink*
ReplyDeleteLovely list!
Happy TT,
