You hear time and time again that the longer a relationship goes, the harder it is to keep up with actual dates. This seems to be especially true if you and your significant other move in together or get married. Yet, dating is important. It’s not just something you do in the beginning. It’s what brought you two together.

Date night should be continued throughout your relationship, and honored as the tradition and ritual that helped you to fall in love in the first place. It’s a scheduled (or spontaneous) time to pay respect to your relationship and keep the intimacy and spark alive in your relationship.

If you’re hunting for some fresh ideas for date night, we’ve got some tips for you. Let’s start with a date for two at the aquarium. Remember the fun when you were in school and looking at all the fish? It’s still fun now that you’re older!

Another fun idea rooted in childhood—camp out in your own backyard! Set up a tent, a couple of snuggly sleeping bags, get some flashlights, and camp out. Tell each other scary stories and then zip the sleeping bags together and cuddle.

Our last fun date idea for tonight is a dessert date! Go to one of your favorite restaurants and just order dessert and maybe some drinks. It’s naughty, delicious, and good fun!
