Life is busy! Whether you’re in the mist of planning your wedding day or just exhausted from long days at work, carving out time for just the two of you may be the last thing on your mind! We believe that it should be the first! A date night tradition is a MUST! We are busy people just like you! We work every day from 7 a.m. until about 6 p.m. (sometimes later), cook dinner, spend time with our girls, feed and walk the dog, and attempt to clean the house before bedtime! We totally get it! But one of the most important pieces of advice that we have received over the last year is to always make time for just the two of you! This has been an amazing piece of advice and has helped us greatly! Even on the busiest and worst of weeks!

We believe that creating a date night tradition is awesome! At least once a month, plan and schedule a date! Mark it on your calendar to ensure that nothing else can be scheduled during that time! If you have the time, plan weekly dates! It doesn’t matter what you guys do, just spend time together! Here are a few ideas for dates!

The lunch date. Plan a surprise or scheduled lunch date with your other half! If you’re into cooking, you could cook his or her favorite dish and bring it to their job during lunch! Or you can plan to meet at a local restaurant during lunch hour! No matter which one you choose, it will be great to just see each other during the day!

Get active. Catch a new movie at the theaters or eat at a fancy restaurant that you’ve been wanting to check out! Or enjoy a romantic dinner with a bottle of wine at home and watch a movie on Netflix! Go bowling or go-karting as couple! Or get really adventurous and go sky diving or rock climbing!

There is no wrong answer to what you guys do together! The most important thing is that you make time for one another and have a great date night!
