We aren’t going out, but we are still doing date night. How can we possibly do that? Very creatively.
It’s Hubby’s choice this weekend and I am laid up with a back injury. But we have been on a roll with weekly date nights, and we’re not about to stop. Sooooo…It’s takeout date night! The kiddos will be watching a movie and we will be enjoying some delicious food and still spending time together.
Hey, there’s no excuse for skipping date night, even if you’re stuck in bed. And I’m gonna prove that!
But…there are a few rules when you do date night in. Here they are:
1.You must spend uninterrupted time together. That might mean sending the kids to the neighbors, or sending them to another room to watch a movie, or putting them to bed early. Whatever works!
2. You still need to dress up and look nice. Sweats and gym clothes aren’t date night gear (unless you have a back injury. Then it doesn’t count).
3. Make sure the kitchen is clean and the table is set pretty. Dirty dishes and laundry piled up on the couch are not romantic.
4. Light at least one candle. It makes a big difference. More is better, just make sure to blow them out when you go to sleep.
Not following these rules can really make your date night in go sour. Believe me, we know from experience!
By the way, watch for my upcoming post on the Date Night Challenge. And yes, there will be prizes involved!
