Marriage Moment/Family

Wanted to do a post on date night because for myself and my hubby we have discovered it is so vital to sow intimate time seeds into our relationship. Date night for me isn't just at night but spending time together at any time of day on purpose and impromptu. We don't have a ritual day, but we do make it a regular priority to spend time away from the kids and the home. I love these times because it is our special time to nurture our relationship outside of our commitments of running the house, and raising children, working and all the many other hats we wear. This is our special time so below I will share some things we have done that are economical and creative to keep that spark poppin off with hopes you and your mate strike up that spark too (SMILES).

10 Date night Ideas

1. Pack a picnic and go to local park and enjoy lunch and each other.
2. Go for a ride in the car day or night and talk and enjoy site seeing.
3. Go for a long walk holding hands and spending quality time together.
4. Cook a romantic dinner at home with candles and the whole romantic atmosphere and enjoy a quiet romantic evening at home together.
5. Grab ice cream and visit a local park.
6. Bike riding together a great way to get exercise and spend quality time together.
7. In summer months check your area for free concert series and take a blanket pack a picnic and pop a squat on the lawn and enjoy some good music and even dance together.
8. Find a great spot to watch the sun set and watch it together while holding each other.
9. Go fishing together (My hubbys favorite) and enjoy fishing together for me that means watching him fish as I read a good book and celebrate his sportsmanship when he catches fish.
10. Dress up and go out to a nice restaurant and enjoy dinner and go dancing together.  

The important thing is spending time nurturing your marriage, because we can get so caught up in the duties of parenting, working and running the house that you lose sight of each other and your relationship aside from your other commitments. Create your own memories and enjoy each other.
