Time: 1 Hour
STEP 1: We all get busy with life, but we can't put romance on the back burner! Determine a date night that will work with both of your schedules. Schedule them on the calendar on a weekly or bi-weekly basis if possible. Do whatever you can to NOT reschedule this night. Although life happens, this is a critical component to building and maintaining a firm foundation.
STEP 2: Research creative and fun date ideas. Look for events that will surprise and excite your spouse/significant other. Keep in mind that you don’t have to spend a lot of money to have a fun date night…a game night, karaoke or renting an old movie can be just as memorable!
STEP 3: Purchase items that will help enhance the evening.
- Wine and cheese for a picnic
- Mullet wig and Madonna bracelets/leggings for 80s night
- Champagne, champagne glasses and strawberries
- Team t-shirt for a sporting event
- Gatorade and granola bars for a hike
- Download songs of an artist before their concert
STEP 4: Make sure you have a reliable babysitter if appropriate.
STEP 5: Enjoy a lively date night! Have lots of laughs, focus on each other and limit any other distractions. Great dates beget more great dates and many happy memories.
