With this super list of at home date ideas, there’s no reason why you can’t lock in a date night with your husband this very weekend!
Date night is something all marriages need!
In one of his rare moments of sage marital advice, my father always told me that it was as important (if not more important) to focus on your husband as it was your children.
His reasoning was that one day your children would leave home, but ultimately your husband would be the one who would be with you the rest of your life.
(Well, maybe not for me and my first two husbands – but definitely with number three!).
But knowing something to be true – then acting on it – can be two very different things.
Having a regular date night is one way of focusing on your marriage.
However, when we think about dates, we often think about how much it’s going to cost, the fact we’ll have to get out of our comfy pants, and the hassle it will be to get everything organized.
That’s a whole lot of barriers before you even get out the door.
Add all those costs together, and your traditional date night can simply be too much of an effort.
Like all things, the chances of doing date night are much higher the more convenient doing date night becomes.
That’s why you need a list of stay at home date ideas for couples so that you can focus on having a great date night in instead.
Here you’ll find fun at home date ideas, cheap at home date ideas, and romantic at home date ideas.
You’ll be able to get started on date night this very weekend!
