Do you know how in marriages many couples break up because they no longer have anything in common? One of the best ways to keep common interests is spend time doing fun things together. Many times you end up in a rut and do the same things over and over. Eventually it becomes boring and your relationship may start to feel stale. Read on to discover 7 great ideas for dating your mate that can rejuvenate your love relationship.

1. The Memory Date

The Memory Date is doing something that evokes special memories of the past. For example, we have gone back to places that were special to us when we were dating and reminisced about those times.

2. The Park It Date

This can be an inexpensive date that makes you feel young again. Go to a park, pack a picnic, and enjoy yourself. You might want to try out the swings, go on a nature hike, or feed the ducks.

3. The Take Out and Make Out Date

Take the kids to the babysitter’s house and drop them off. Then get take out, go home and enjoy making out without any interruptions. This can remind you of what lovemaking was like before the children came along.

4. The Restaurant Date (With a twist)

You are probably saying “Well duh! Of course eating at a restaurant is an obvious choice. I did not have to read this to know it.” However, if you are like we are, then you tend to eat at the same restaurants over and over.

So change it up. When we were dating, we were constantly looking for unique and special dining experiences. Be creative with your restaurant choices.

5. The His Date, Her Date

Hopefully, you and your mate share many common interests. However, we all have unique interests as well. With the His Date/ Her Date, you make plans for two different dates. You each get to pick an activity that you enjoy doing.

6. The Surprise Date

With The Surprise Date, the surprise is more important than where you go. You make all the plans (just make make sure your mate is available). Then show up and take them out.

7. The After Hours Date

The ideal date is to get a babysitter and get away from where the kids. However, there are times when this is not possible. If that happens, make stay-at-home plans after the kids go to bed. Be creative and enjoy each other.
