Couples can all too easily slip into a mode in which they are running a household and practicing tag-team parenting, barely giving each other so much as a hug before bed. When you start to feel like roommates, you must remember the romance. Making a date with each other is essential for relationship wellness. It allows you to get away from the distractions of daily life and get back to each other.
Date night can happen on any night, on any budget. It can be one night a week, one night a month, or anything that works for you. Whatever you choose, it works best if you set a regular schedule and stick to it, without letting excuses get in the way. And be sure to make it a date to remember. Did he used to love live jazz music? Go to a club one night. Have you been dying to try a cooking class together? Sign yourselves up! One of my favs is to catch a movie! Go out to eat at one of his favorite restaurants. It can be fun to alternate date planning, so each of you gets to choose every other date. Surprise each other!
This happens to everyone so just pick up the pieces and get going!
And remember that every good date ends with a kiss, or more….
