Marriage requires openness and communication and it also needs maintenance. By maintaining your relationship, you’re allowing growth and fulfilment from both ends. And one of the many ways you can do so is by having a list of date night ideas to choose from when you fancy some alone time with your significant other.
But date nights can be expensive, and leaving the children at home alone isn’t an option, especially when you have no one to look after them. that’s why it’s best to stay at home a get creative with dating. plus, it’s a lot cheaper, and you’ll be surprised about the quality time you’ll spend together when at home.
At–home date night ideas for parents that are fun and creative
- Create a song and write the lyrics
This is a romantic and creative activity every couple should do at some point. If you’ve got a guitar that’s a plus but if you don’t, you can still create some lyrics together and it’ll turn out to be a good song that you’ll sing for weeks.
- Have a spa night
Nothing can beat a good spa experience. Light some nice-smelling candles, throw some flowers and bath salt in the tub and enjoy the nicest most relaxing date. Finish it up with a massage and cute silky pyjamas to make you feel good.
- Paint a canvas
All you need is a big blank canvas and some paint and brushes. Create a masterpiece of colours together and then hang it somewhere in the house. It’s personal and it’ll bring you closer to each other.
- Craft
There are a lot of craft ideas to do with your spouse. You can make coasters, crochet a keychain or knit a blanket… etc
- Learn a new skill
There’s something romantic about learning a new skill together. Whether it’s pottery or wood carving. This date night idea can feed the love you have for each other, it’s as if you’re hitting a new milestone together.
- Go down memory lane and go through photos
One of my favourite memories growing up was when my parents would open the photo album and start talking about each photo telling the story behind it. It’s one of the best things couples can do to remind themselves of their special moments.
- Talk about your childhood funny stories
Sharing your childhood stories and memories with your spouse will bring you closer together. It’s fun and it’s a great way to laugh and have a good time.
- Read to each other
If you’re a bookworm then this one is definitely for you. When someone you love reads for you is different from reading for yourself. It’s a fun way to have a deep and meaningful conversation.
- Cook together
This is not the classic cook-pizza kinda date. The fun part is, each one of you chooses the other’s ingredients and sees how you can get creative with cooking. Set the timer to one hour and get to work. When you finish cooking, get creative with setting up the plate and then taste each other’s dishes.
- Taste test a tea or coffee collection
Tea is a great conversation starter. Why not get creative and have a tea collection to taste while having some deep conversations with your spouse? If you’re not a fan of tea you can try coffee instead.
- Do some indoor gardening
This is another great date night idea, nature brings people together. And by planting a few seeds, you’re experiencing the joy of bringing something to life and it’s a nice way to spend time together.
- Taste a cheese collection
To all cheese lovers, this one’s for you. There are a variety of cheeses that I’m sure you haven’t tried yet. Well, this is your chance to do so, with your loved one.
- Make a charcuterie board (charcuterie board must haves)
What’s better than eating from a charcuterie board? Making one. Get creative with your spouse and set up your very own charcuterie board while enjoying each other’s company.
- Listen to a podcast
Podcasts are a great source of information and entertainment. Instead of watching a movie try listening to a podcast while snuggling and sipping tea.
- Play “never have I ever”
What’s a date night without a game? You can never go wrong with games when it comes to date nights. They are fun and they will bring you closer to each other.
- Play truth or dare
This is another great game all couples should try. It’s always fun and you can get creative with it. You’ll laugh a lot while playing it and the date will stick to your memory.
- Write each other a love letter
Don’t underestimate the power of a good letter. They last and it’s a great way to remind your spouse of how much you love being around them.
- Create a vision board
Dreaming together as a couple is the sweetest thing in a relationship. And creating a vision board is exciting and fun. Build that board tonight and watch your dreams come true together.
- Assemble a puzzle
Puzzles are a classic in dating. You should really try it if you haven’t already.
