My hubby is my best friend and we do practically everything together – especially these days ‘coz of the lockdowns. We love each others’ company whether it’s on walks/ hikes, dinners or just grocery shopping, I cherish all of it!

I love this! My husband and I do our best to enjoy at least one date night each week. Sometimes we go out somewhere nice like visiting a local brewery or going out for dinner. However, there are many weeks that date night is just walking the dogs to the local Tim Hortons and enjoying a coffee together or watching a movie together in the back yard. As you said, it doesn’t matter what we’re doing as long as we’re enjoying that time together.

This is so important, and I love how you’ve described how simple, necessary activities can be made into something fun that you and your partner look forward to. It’s so true that dates don’t have to be expensive to be fun – in fact, the traditional dinner dates can get a little stale after a while. Doing outdoor activities together sounds like much more fun to me!

This is such a lovely post and aligns really well with the jazz music I’m listening to right now. Dating is about cultivating a connection and bonding. I love what you wrote about showing each other you remain a high priority to each other when you intentionally date and care for each other. We are all somehow just looking to be seen.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for over 4 years. Because of the shutdown/pandemic we were limited in places to go out so we did date nights at home. When things normalized I’d love to go out on more intentional dates together.

You have shared such an important message here for couples everywhere. It is so important to not let the magic die and to consciously make time together to do things ‘on a date’. You rightfully make the point that this is not about the expense, it is about quality time together irrespective of whatever it is you plan to do. It is clear you and Nathan are definitely making it work for the long term and it was great to read this and see images of you both together.

I love these personal examples of date ideas. I agree with you, it is time spent together, who and not what that matters. My husband and I used to hire a babysitter and go for breakfast almost every Saturday morning. It was our thing, we’d talk, sometimes we’d even discuss finances. But it was or time together and I really looked forward to it. We don’t live that lifestyle anymore and the kids are bigger and sometimes we forget to make that time. Thank you for the reminder. And I love the pictures!

This is so important in marriages. My husband, and I make sure to take some time just for the two of us. We just started our adventures with Home Chef Express. We pick up a new meal when we do our grocery shopping, and a bottle of wine. We cook together, eat, and later relax with our glass of wine. Lately it has been so nice to just let everything go, and enjoy! Thank you for sharing this wonderful post. 🙂

This is so sweet, I think that spending quality time alone with your spouse is quite important in a relationship. Covid has been making it harder to plan date night things!
