Great ideas! I especially love the parenting date. It’s so true that something about the kids usually come up. Might as well have a time dedicated towards that! Thanks for sharing 🙂

We scheduled my daughter for Wednesday night ballet classes downtown, so we have our “date night” while she’s at class. It’s a guarantee to have time and space for us for an hour every week and we love it!

I think what puts me off having children is how a relationship changes afterwards – reading these comments terrifies me! (I’m sure children are lovely, of course.) Even though my hubs and I just have a cat, we need to put more effort into dating again!

My husband and I are soooo blessed that we have the opportunity to go on dates regularly. We are also part of an amazing spall group for married couples, and we get to talk about common marriage issues and work out our strengths and weakness both as people and as a couple! These are great suggestions- thanks for sharing 🙂

My husband and I make time for each other every nite, but date nite is every month. We try to find at least one nite we can go out and just be us again! No kid conversations, just us having fun together.

Love the weekend date idea. We try and go away for our Anniversary as a special way for us to re-connect and relax just the two of us. We went to a destination wedding a few years ago that felt like one big couples retreat and we had a lot of fun. Have to do that again!

Okay, I love all of your ideas…especially creating a date specifically to discuss the kids or household stuff. You’re right, sometimes those conversations during date nights can overshadow the point of date night in the first place!

Its great you are keeping love alive after 10 years . Congrats to you on that .. though I’m not married the “Just Because” date is my favorite.

Those are great suggestions. My husband and I have not been on a date alone together for 10 years. It is so hard when you have 5 kids!

Ah Shari’s Berries, yum. Date nights/days/weekends are important. They are a great way to reconnect or stay connected, I agree.

We do date nights every weekend and they are so important – we even have no phone zones.

Date nights (and making time for each other in general) is so important in marriage. These are great ideas!

These are wonderful ideas. I love the idea of “just because” date nights!

I think the just because dates are the best. They are spontaneous and pretty fun.

Date nights I think are so important to a healthy marriage. it is very easy to lose each other in the hectic day in day out of life.

The weekend getaway dates are the best even if you have to do a mini staycation. It is really important to spend quality alone time with your significant other.
