From play-dates to conference calls, it’s easy to let alone-time, and the two-of-you-alone time, slide. But it’s important to keep date-night alive – here’s how…
Set a Date. Date-night ensures you’re able to unplug from work, parenting and check in on how each other’s really doing (although, guaranteed the kids will come up a few times). Picking a standing date-night -- whether weekly or monthly -- will make them easier to keep (and something to look forward to).
Turn Up the Romance. Without spending time alone, keeping the spark alive and feeling connected can be challenging. Luckily date-night doesn’t have to mean going out; you can do it all in the comfort of your own home (while keeping downd the cost of a babysitter). Here are five ways to make your outdoor space more romantic.
Have Fun! Spending time together is fun! Remember?! Hold hands; go to the movies; share an ice cream cone. Just because you’re parents doesn’t mean you’re not still yourselves. Keeping the date is the hardest part, but once you get in the habit, they’ll be easy and well, well worth the effort.
