1 Hour Coffee Date
Lewis and I have put dating each other at the top of our priority list, and we are committed to sticking to it. Except we don't have time to date. Not conventionally anyway. Weekdays are busy with the boys' schedules and Lew's travel. The weekends are usually unavailable due to games, appointments and a lack of babysitters. But with a little bit of creativity we've been able to get at least 1 date a week and sometimes more.
The first thing we did was changed our definition of the word "date". Dinner and a movie now sometimes looks like a 1-hour coffee date or brunch at a spot down the street from our house. Sometimes it looks like a 2 mile walk around our neighborhood or folding clothes together while we watch our favorite movie. These simple moments of time have connected us in ways we never imagined. Here are 20 date ideas that don't need much money, time or a sitter:
cook together
movie marathon
bubble bath for two
board games
watch youtube videos
try to break a world record
paint together
download a karaoke app
write out your love story
make fondue
build a slip n slide
play truth or dare
give each other massages
vacation dream & plan
camp out in the living room
have a wine tasting night
make playlists
candlelight dinner
watch the sunrise, then make breakfast together
work out together
Just be creative and make dating a priority. You won't regret it. And neither will your marriage.
