Any ideas for couples' nights (or days) out?

Dating is important – not just for getting to know a new love interest but for sharing experiences throughout a longer relationship. In the beginning, a good date idea breaks the ice and helps you make a connection with someone. Deeper into a relationship, regular reconnections can help keep your bond solid. Dating can be extremely beneficial toward keeping romance alive but coming up with new ideas is harder than it seems.

That’s why we’re curious about your favorite date night (and day) ideas for couples!

My husband and I are very busy, always on the phone or our laptops working. This has had a serious effect on our love life as we were always tired by the time we got to bed and had no energy for making love. We both felt that we need to do something and we decided to unplug, turn all our devices off (yes, even the iPhones!) which seemed to be the culprit, and had a power outage date! We left the kids with the grandparents, bought a ton of candles, some incense sticks and lit them all up. The house was full of candles, it looked so nice and warm. We had a lovely candle-lit bath, followed by a candle-lit dinner that we ordered in, with some nice wine. We also put some logs on the fire and the rest is… I’m sure you can imagine the rest. 🙂

One of my friends told me that they were going through a rough patch with his husband and their therapist suggested to find out programs through which they could reconnect. One of the ‘tasks’ they were given was to go out and relive their first date to see how and why they fell in love with each other and find the same appreciation and adoration they felt towards each other in their very first days of knowing each other. The exercise was so successful that they found love again and are now happily married.
When she told me about this, I found that this is a very good way to keep love alive and we actually started to go out on our anniversary to relive our first date every year with my husband. It’s truly an amazing feeling to feel that same love and appreciation that you felt when you met for the very first time.

After years of being together our sex life was nearly non-existent. I love my boyfriend a lot and didn’t want to lose him over this, so I decided to buy an egg vibrator and go for a night on the town with him. I put it in, gave him the remote and told him to do whatever he wants with it while we’re out. Being in control this way turned him on so much he could hardly (wink, wink) wait to get home… and I must say this turned out to be probably the best decision in my life as we’re still happily together. 🙂

In the winter there’s not much that you would want to do outdoors as it’s all cold and dark, and you just want to stay in the warm house and only go out when it’s absolutely necessary – at least me anyway. I would honestly be very happy if hibernating for the entire winter season and only wake up when the cold weather has already passed was an option.
On another hand, I very much like being outdoors in the summer and go on picnics with my boyfriend, and he knows that. A couple of years ago it was still very cold in February, so he surprised me with an indoors picnic for Valentine’s day! It was so amazing! He put a lot of effort in it, he put all these light chains around the blanket which looked awesome, he put together a lovely dinner and bought my favorite wine and favorite cake – it was all very romantic! I liked his surprise so much that sometimes we set up an indoors picnic just for the sake of it, not just for celebrations, and enjoy quality time together.

I usually drive to work and home, so not a big cyclist but always see tourists discovering the city by bike and they seem to have loads of fun, so I’ve ben toying with the idea of trying this myself. One weekend I nagged my wife into going out on a bike tour. We thoroughly enjoyed being out together and we got to know our locale in a way we never have before. We rode from one touristy place to another, stopped for a nice lunch, we even took a blanket and sat outside in the park for a couple of hours reading books together. It was a bliss! And you don’t even need to spend a fortune which is a plus.

Before I met my girlfriend I used to go out a lot to play pool with my mates, but since we’re together I haven’t really had the chance to do that in years as she kept saying that she cannot play. My friends all got married and have kids so it’s very hard to find time and have a fun night out with them. As I miss playing pool a lot, I decided that I’ll take my girlfriend out and teach her how to play. All in all, we had an amazing night out, she was way better than she thought she is and we laughed a lot – not to mention all the close contact we were making when I was showing her how to aim and put all the balls in the holes…

After a while you just run out of ideas on what could be fun to do together and think outside the box. So one day when our son went on a photo walk with his class and came home all happy and energized by the experience, I got really inspired and thought that we should try and do it with my husband too. So one weekend we got out our proper cameras, and went out to take photos. It was really exciting to rediscover our city and look at it with the eyes of a tourist, see all the new developments we haven’t even seen yet and talk about how it all looked just a couple of years ago. We even snapped a few shots of each other and also together what we haven’t done in the longest time. In the evening, we sat down and went through all our photos sipping some nice wine. It was a fabulous day out and an amazing bonding experience – can only recommend.
