Dating your spouse does not have to be expensive! Summer makes dates way easier than in Winter because you can get outside for the first time in months & nature makes a great date!
In case you’re stuck in a rut of not knowing what to do with your spouse when you do have the time by yourselves, here are some ideas:
- Explore nature together. This could be a walk, hike, bike ride, roller blading, etc. Just getting outside and enjoying the weather together.
- Picnic. Grab a blanket, pack some yummy food, and go to a park.
- Do a shared activity together. This could be something in nature like mentioned already or anything you guys both enjoy. My husband and I have done some long boarding dates at the park. So fun!
- Get ice cream. You can eat it in the car while kids nap or at home once they’re in bed. There’s nothing like ice cream in the summer. Yummmm
- Go to a restaurant. If the weather is nice, you can even eat outside on the patio!
- Movie night. This could be at home once kids are asleep or in a theater.
- Long drive. If you live somewhere with pretty views, go on a nice, long drive and just enjoy it together. Play some chill music (Bon Iver or Nova Amor are great for this sort of thing) and just relax.
- Coffee Shop & Board Games. Go to a coffee shop together and bring some cards or a board game and enjoy the chill atmosphere of the shop and slowing down enough to play a game together.
See, dating your spouse doesn’t have to be expensive or even difficult; it should be fun & easy! Enjoy some summer dates. 🙂
