Date Ideas

Dating your spouse is super important.  Keeping the romance alive in your relationship is one of the key factors in keeping a marriage strong!  We need to make sure that we're taking time out of our busy schedules to just spend time with our spouse.  Sometimes it's hard to think of things to do or to plan in advance, so I've decided to write down things that we are doing or have done to help those creative juices flow!  I'll post a new idea each week and also add it on this page as an easy reference.  We hope you have fun dating your spouse too!

“Keep your courtship alive. Make time to do things together—just the two of you. As important as it is to be with the children as a family, you need regular weekly time alone together. Scheduling it will let your children know that you feel that your marriage is so important that you need to nurture it. That takes commitment, planning, and scheduling” (in Conference Report, Apr. 1995, 86; or Ensign, May 1995, 65).

2. Go to a museum, exhibit, or monument.
3. Go to a professional sporting event.

5. Get those cowboy boots on and go country swing dancing!
6. Take a dance lesson together.
