Tonight is our date night. And we were trying to think of something to do. We often result to the familiar, especially when we're tired. Many couples either do not keep up with their date night or like us, they get stuck in a rut. The most common ruts are going to dinner and/or the movies. Or staying in and renting a movie. It’s time to break out of the monotony. Do something different. Try something you’ve never done before; something exciting and adventurous. It will bless your relationship.
Here are some ideas to help you get started:
Plan a candlelight bath
Go to a carnival or amusement park (no kids in tow)
Plan an indoor picnic
Fly a kite
Go cart racing
Adult Game Night (make it interesting)
Go rock climbing
Go canoeing or paddle boating
Take dance lessons
Go bike riding
Fly out of town for the weekend
Go to an ethnic restaurant (that you never tried before)
Ride a motorcycle
Give each other a massage (with oils, candles, and music)
We are planning something very interesting for tonight. Hope that you are too.
My Husband just isnt spontaneous. He is a homebody and would rather stay in and watch movies. Do you have any ideas on how I can persuade him to go out sometimes and not grab a movie and popcorn. Our finances doesnt permit us to do too much but I at least would like try and do something rather than a blockbuster night. lol I dont want to be manipulative but at the sametime I want to go out.
ReplyDeleteTalk to him, find out what are is objections. You may be surprised. Most husbands are reluctant because they think date night is an unnecessary expense. Well, give him some free and low cost ideas.
ReplyDeleteAnother objection is date night often surrounds a woman's interest. Effective date nights should alternate between husband and wife's interests. Do some of the things that your husband enjoys. Take him to a sporting event, bring along your blanket for cuddling.
