Date Nights

So many times, we get so busy in life, we tend to over-invest in our children and under-invest in our marriage. Your husband is your life mate. He should be your number one human relationship. Nothing just happens – including a great marriage. When was the last time you made time for your husband? Here are some fun date night ideas to help you show your husband that he is your highest human priority.

#1 Recreate the first date you had together. If you went to a movie, rent the same movie. If you went out for dinner, go back to the same restaurant or make the dish you ate at home.

#2 Take a mini road trip. Pick a destination about an hour from where you live – it could be anything from an antique mall to a restaurant off the beaten path – and just drive.

#3 Plan a food date night. This involves eating each course at a different restaurant.

#4 See the fine arts – visit an art gallery or see a play at a local theater.

#5 Play games – bowling, mini golf, or board games.

#6 Attend a sporting event – baseball, basketball, football, or soccer game.

#7 Do something neither of you have done before.

You may have to budget so you can hire a babysitter; but date nights are a necessity to a great marriage. You can be both mother and wife. But the wise woman remembers she will begin and end as a wife. Decide to make your husband your number one human relationship and plan some fun date nights!
