Just because you’re married, doesn’t mean date night should go out the window. I actually think it’s more important to make sure to keep it up once you’re hitched. It’s all too easy for life to get in the way and to forget just how wonderful spending time together is.

Great list!!
51. Go on a petrol station for a coffee. Just sit there, drink coffee and watch the cars passing by you.
These are brilliant ideas! Me and my husband have been trying to come up with ideas for date night and I think some of these may definitely come in to play!
Couldn’t agree more. Getting married is just the start of the rest of your life together. Never take one another for granted. Marriage is a two sided relationship. Always respect one another and remember why you fell in love in the first place. As years go by you face challenges together and may disagree or have different perspectives. Work things out together. Give and take. Remember to tell one another how much you love one another. Dating is fun and a great way of making sure you take time out for one another. We love the winter months snuggling up by the fire under a blanket together watching our favourite tv programmes, but we remember to change routine now and then to avoid getting stale. X
Such a cool list! Thank you, Kat.
Great advice! I’m very happy to know that we do a lot of these things still after 9 years.
strip poker would definitely be on top of my list even after so many years of my wedding
This is a great list to inspire.

Drag racing too. Awesome list.
Go Andrea!!! Have an awesome time!!! Applaud you for the knowledge that even though many years go by, we don’t have to settle.
What do you mean by abuse a photo booth
This list doesn’t work for married couples with a bunch of kids. The babysitter comes. We have a date night. What to do? I’m tired of going to restaurant for fate night. Going to movies is stupid. We are tired after work. Yes, sometimes we go food shopping. Seems stupid to pay babysitter only to go food shopping. Sometimes we go sit at Starbucks. But there is nothing else to do. Sure, occasionally we could go to theater. Or visit friends. But if we have a date night every week, what do we do? It turns out the best thing to do is see a marriage counselor. $10-$15 copay for an hour time of talking about stuff with a counselor who moderated and stuff. I recommend that. Only good things can come out of it
to all my fellas out there anywhere now too here is something you all can look at instead of what,s in your pants let alone anything and yes we can go on dates outside ca na da and anywhere else too and your buying on me too I supposedly too I hope hint???????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!and can this site send me this list too,but I do have my own ideas for this sort of thing too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
