Here are some simple yet impactful tips to spice up your couples night out:
Put the Screens Away
There's something incredibly sexy about undivided attention. Make a pact to keep those screens at bay and focus solely on each other. Quality time is a priceless gift that costs $0.
Many customers we’ve talked to over the years have confided with us in different tips, tricks, and hacks within their relationships. We can all agree that undivided attention can give your relationship the TLC it deserves.
Focus on Connection: 5 question challenge
Have you ever tried the five question challenge? Let me introduce the concept to you.
Before your date night, each of you write down 5 five thought-provoking questions to ask during the date. It could be anything from your deepest fears to your wildest dreams.
The key is to foster open communication and vulnerability, strengthening the bond between the both of you. This is perfect if your spouse works away and you need a tool to support connection!
Mini Gifts
One of our good friends as a couple always made a rule that once per month, they would plan a small gift to give each other with a theme.
Some of the themes were more thoughtful like: reminder of our first date, a gift emphasizing my favourite thing about you, love letters, etc.
While others were “gag gifts”, designed to make each other laugh!
I have always loved the idea of a small, affordable gift where the thought or story behind it meant significantly more than the price tag.
Make It an Experience
More often than not, we can get lost in the mundaneness of life.
It’s “just” dinner.
It’s “just” a walk.
It’s “just” a phone call.
It’s “just” a coffee date.
Those small, seemingly insignificant activities have the power to brighten your spouse's day.
Dinner could have been an opportunity to rekindle your relationship, ask your 5 questions, and give a small gift!
A walk could have been an opportunity to chat about your future goals as a couple.
A phone call could have been the pick-me-up your partner needed from you to get through the day.
Dropping coffee off to your partner at work or intentionally starting the morning off together with a cup could have created a solid foundation for the day!
