Are you looking for something new to try for your next date night (or date day)? I’ve got 50 of them for you! Whether you’re looking for something romantic, fun, active, at home, or away, there’s sure to be something here you’d love to do! So keep reading for 50 great date ideas for married couples!
My husband and I don’t take date nights as much as we should, but it’s a goal of ours to go out more WITHOUT the kids. Husbands and wives (and dating couples) NEED time alone together to strengthen their relationship. And what better way to do that than by doing something that you both enjoy doing.
My husband and I usually choose relaxing date night. They might include a massage or a pedicure (After 10 years of marriage, I’ve finally gotten my husband on board with pedicures!) and then dinner out at a nice restaurant. Or, we might stay home and watch a movie or binge-watch a show on Netflix together. As important as it is to take time to relax and relieve some stress, we’re ready to try some new things out for date night! Some of these ideas are ones we’ve tried, and some are new ideas we will be trying soon!
Check them out and schedule any of these date ideas that you know you and your significant would love doing together!
