Date Night Ideas

This one is gonna be simple. We all know that date night is important. If you don’t prioritize your spouse you will gradually grow apart. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to end up living with a stranger in my house. So date nights help to combat that and draw you closer to each other. The great news is you don’t have to spend a fortune to have fun with your spouse! I’ll separate the activities into two columns:

Frugal		Pricey
Take a walk	Around the park or your neighborhood	Staycation	Find a bed and breakfast/hotel in your area and make a weekend out of exploring your city
Give them a massage	Get naked and get oily!	Pottery Night	Find a local craft store and paint a piece of pottery together. The Art Place Studio Fire and Earth Pottery
Game Night	From puzzles to chess you can find all types of games at the dollar store and Goodwill that will make you think.	Escape Rooms	These puzzle rooms are awesome and they force you to work together. Escape in 60
Have a kid day	Stay in your PJ’s eat cereal and watch cartoons	Amusement Park	Carowinds, Busch Gardens, Six Flags
Antique hopping	Downtown is full of them. See if you can find them all.	Take a dance class	Find a studio and see if you can get a private lesson.
Workout together	You don’t have to have a gym membership. Run around your neighbor hood a few times and you will work up a sweat!	Concert	Find an artist that both of you love and grab some tickets.
People Watch	Go to a park or a Starbucks and just observe (you would be surprised how fun this is.)	Vacation (without the kids)	Pick a place on the map, save up, and go!
Go to the beach	Find a free parking spot and explore.	Couples Massage	Zen Massage, Massage Envy, Urban Nirvana etc.
Ice Cream Date	Who doesn’t love sweets? (Froyo, Baskin Robbins, Sweet Frog, etc.	Mystery Date	Buy them a new outfit and take them somewhere special.
Steak Dinner at Home	Cook it together and turn your dining room into a fancy restaurant.	Rock Climbing	Google bouldering and rock climbing gyms, sign the waiver, and climb away!

You will notice that none of these ideas are dinner and a movie. Although that is a great idea EVERYBODY does it. After a while of doing dinner and a movie and nothing else it will get boring. The purpose of these ideas is to have an EXPERIENCE together that gives you open space to talk and learn with each other. Shake it up and comment below if you try any of these!
