🍽You Have To Have Date Nights. Period!🍽

First of all, date nights don’t have to be at night. You can do them any day at any time. The Gottman Institute’s research shows that 2 hours a week devoted to dates are part of a happy healthy relationship. Here are some date night ideas that could take at least two hours:


  • Take a walk or a hike together

  • Go to a coffee shop and talk

  • Have dinner out or cook a meal together at home

  • Go to a museum or art exhibit

  • Take a class together to learn something new

  • Play a board game

  • Engage in an outdoor activity like kayaking or a sport

  • Go to the gym or workout class together

  • Go to a festival or event in your tow


Why are date nights so important?

💐Spending quality time together without distractions boosts connection.

💐This time builds positive interactions to store your emotional bank account.

💐It helps you engage in activities with shared meaning, like rituals of connection.

💐It gives you time to talk about your relationship.

💐You get to have fun together.


Talk to your partner about setting up a time each week when you can spend two hours together. This can be the same time every week or you can schedule the next one at the end of your most recent date night. It can be helpful to schedule date nights like you would a medical appointment or work meeting. This makes it feel more prioritized and harder to cancel or forget about.
