Married couples often forget the sparks and romance they had when dating. Everyday responsibilities have a way of dulling those sparks. A couple can get so tied up with responsibilities that their life with each other becomes almost robotic. It does not have to be this way. Bring back the romance in your marriage by setting up date nights.

Discuss how often you will have a date night. Ideally, this should be at least once a month to keep the romance alive. If you have children, ask a trusted friend or family member to babysit well-ahead of time.

Mark the date night on a calendar. This will help to eliminate any other scheduling that would prevent you from going out on your date night. Discuss various activities you both enjoy. If finances are a problem, plan your date night within your budget.

Date Night Ideas
  • A nice romantic dinner and a movie
  • Pack a romantic picnic dinner, a blanket and star gaze under a moonlit sky
  • Go to a spa and get a relaxing couples' massage
  • Recreate your first date and go to the places you went and do the things you did, years ago
  • Go to a coffee shop and enjoy great conversation with each other
  • Spark romance and youth by going for ice cream and then skating or bowling
  • Sleep on the beach and watch the sun rise together
  • Have a movie marathon at home, holding hands and making out
  • Cook dinner together and then put on some romantic music to dance to
Date nights don't have to be expensive or elaborate. It's about spending quality time together and bringing back the sparks and romance from when you first met.

I hear women complaining all the time about how their partner has no idea what romance is. Some men equate romance with sex. Women equate romance with what happens outside of the bedroom, as well as what happens inside the bedroom. Romance, is not about sex, but about how a woman is treated before you even enter the bedroom.

Women want to know they are appreciated outside of the bedroom. They want to feel valued and acknowledged. Romance isn't just about monetary gestures such as jewelry or flowers, but about sincere and meaningful gestures that makes her feel truly wanted and loved in your presence. Doing the dishes after she has cooked a delicious meal or taking a stroll in the park is romantic in her eyes. Interacting with your children together is a romantic bond that is dear to a woman's heart. Giving a massage because you love her, instead of because of what it will lead to. Anything that lets a woman know your time with her is special, no matter what you are doing, is romantic.

There are countless women hurting because they feel the only time their spouse puts priority on them is when sex is involved. When a man makes a woman priority outside of the bedroom, a woman will make him priority in the bedroom.
