Many couples fail to invest sufficient time and effort into their relationship, which is why adding a weekly date night to your bucket list makes perfect sense for getting your marriage back on track.
Simple Date Ideas
It’s a fact of life that after spending years with your spouse, the relationship can begin to feel, well… let’s face it, stagnant. Particularly for couples with kids. Luckily, doing something as simple as scheduling in a weekly date night can help re-ignite those stomach fluttering, blood pumping feelings of the early days.
One of the biggest reasons why couples put off a romantic evening, is the expense of eating out, and the added cost and hassle of hiring a babysitter. To eliminate this issue, why not arrange a date night at home? After the children are in bed, put away your laptops and phones, step away from the couch and Netflix, open up a bottle of wine and sit together at the table.
Communication
It’s important that your date night creates space to talk to each other. Try and veer away from mundane reprisals of the day’s activities, and instead, debate something in the news. Discuss fun things as well, like your ultimate travel destinations.
All of this will shed new light on your relationship. Introverts among can always play cards or a board game at the same time, to take the focus off the conversation.
If you need to escape the house, try going for a walk in the neighbourhood, enjoying a bike ride in the countryside or taking a picnic to the park.
More Extravagant Proposals
Aside from the usual dinner and a movie date, there are numerous activities and venues to consider for your weekly outing. Museums, casinos, arcades, amusement parks, bowling alleys, mini golf, paintball… the list is endless. For the ultimate test of your relationship, head to a live escape game and use your newfound bond to work together in an evening of fun-filled adrenaline
