Date Night Ideas To Spice Things Up

 

No matter how much you love your other half, years of routine, stress, and busy schedules can take a toll on your affinity and intimacy. Luckily, there is a lot that you can do to rekindle your relationship and return to living that perfect honeymoon period! And, it all starts with making time for a date night at least once a month. 

If you are short on date night ideas to make an evening out with your partner even more special, these tips can help. Let’s get started!

Have a Themed Night

 

If you have a limited budget or you prefer to do something enjoyable at home, you could consider establishing a themed night. For example, you can have an Italian food night or try out a new flavorful birria tacos recipe for taco night. They seem to have become all the rage as of late.

If cooking isn’t your passion, you could consider making it a movie marathon night. Whether it’s the Harry Potter franchise or the Lord of The Rings Saga, you can spend an evening watching your favorite movies and ordering in!

Try Relationship Building Activities

 

Another great option to rekindle your relationship, put your teamwork skills to the test, and improve your affinity is relationship-building activities. From playing board games to solving puzzles and quizzes, or enjoying an Escape Room experience together, there are plenty of options to make your date night even more valuable.  

Enjoy a Weekend Away

 

Few things can help you restore the balance between you and your other half like spending a weekend away together. And, if this is your idea of the perfect date night, you certainly won’t be short of options. For example, you might consider taking a road trip to a nearby town or booking a night’s stay in a fancy hotel within your own city. Alternatively, why not look for an affordable flight that can take you to an exotic destination for a few days?

Whatever your destination might be, a weekend away can help you get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and spend time with your partner. 

Check-In Into a Spa

 

If you only have a few free hours to dedicate to your partner, you might consider checking in to a local spa or wellness resort. Whether it is getting a couples massage or enjoying the relaxation that only saunas and hot tubs can provide, a spa day can help you feel refreshed and recharge your energy. 

Try a New Restaurant

 

Date nights are crucial to maintaining your relationship healthy and happy. But you don’t necessarily need to think out of the box to enjoy time with your other half! For example, you might enjoy a walk in your neighborhood or pretend to be tourists in your own city. Alternatively, you could try out a new restaurant or visit a local museum or exhibition. The options truly are endless!

Spend the Weekend in Nature

 

Spending time in nature can help you feel happy, boost relaxation, and improve your mood. So, if you are looking to spend time with your other half and get away from the stress of daily life, there is nothing better than just spending some time in nature. Some options for an outdoorsy date include a camping weekend, visiting a local national park, going on a hike, or just strolling through a local botanical garden.

    My husband and I enjoy a good couples spa with a relaxing massage, especially when we travel overseas. But even at home, we both enjoy having a bubble bath together. We both love it, and it is our time to be intimate and have honest talks.

  2. Great ideas here. I love weekend getaways and we love to visit lakes and rivers. I’m so glad we both love nature!

  3. Barbara Ritzman

    There are some great tips here. I need to plan a date night soon; I love to try new restaurants. Based on recommendations.

  4. I loved the creative and unique date night ideas you shared! They were not only fun but also affordable and accessible. Can’t wait to try some of them out with my partner.

  5. My husband and I play board games a lot (usually with the kids, but sometimes just the two of us) and we also love to travel so spend a lot of time in nature. We’ve been talking about treating ourselves to a weekend at the spa, maybe this is the sign I need to just book it.

  6. I love these ideas. Before kids my husband and I would do all of these things, but with no family around things have gotten a bit harder with young kids. I can’t wait to pick these up again.

  7. Whitney Stewart

    I’m not in a relationship, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn a few things before we get together with a special someone. Plus I love how simple, yet meaningful either of these ideas are. Each sounds like the perfect evening! Thanks so much for sharing!
