Relationships, like anything, become comfortable, familiar and even routine, where surprise is rare and excitement is non-existent. What deepens relationships are shared experiences and passion... toward something. Date night can take people out of the "norm" and into something unexpected, and give people something "new" to discuss.
Isn't that why we date in the first place? To see who we are with the other person? If nothing new ever happens, there is no deepening of our relationship with ourselves, therefore not creating new space for an existing relationship to grow.
Date night does not have to apply to only our romantic relationships. Create a date night with each of your children, go explore something new, or try something you've never done together. Do a date night with a colleague at work. Find out the hidden gifts inside people with whom you work.
As for our romantic partners, use date night to get outside your routine conversations and obligations, and use date night to expand who you are and stimulate brain chemistry to stimulate physical reaction.
One idea, take turns, with each partner choosing what to do on date night, and the other goes along willingly. Not only will you learn new things about what your partner likes, but you will play a crucial part in making your partner happy. And isn't that why we are together in the first place. Happy Dating!!!
