40 Date Night Ideas
Before we were married my husband and I sat down and discussed what we expected out of marriage. One thing we both agreed on was that we needed to continue to date one another. It's not advantages for your relationship to think that you or your partner will never change. One of the ways that you can keep up with the changes that comes with life and grow together is to have date nights. They can be something simple as just talking to each other about what your life plans are for the next five years to a weekend getaway vacation.
The important thing to do is for you to have a night to yourself where you don't talk about work or the kids and you get to know your partner. We as a couple do this once a week. We have been doing this for the past nine years and even after the arrival of our son last year we still make time for us once a week.
A lot of times you may get into a dating rut and all you can think about are the quintessential dinner and a movie. Well look no further. Here I have made a list of some date night ideas.
