How to date your spouse

What are fun ways to date your spouse even after many years together?

Absolutely! Keeping the spark alive is important, even after years together. Here are a few fun ideas:

  • Try cooking a new recipe together for a “date night in.”
  • Take a walk or picnic in a local park.
  • Set up a movie marathon with your favorites from when you started dating.
  • Revisit your first date spot or recreate it at home.
  • Do an activity neither of you has tried before, like a dance class or escape room.

The key is to keep things fresh and make dedicated time for each other. Enjoy!

That’s a wonderful question, Laura! Keeping the spark alive with fun activities can really deepen your bond. Consider trying themed date nights—like cooking a new cuisine together or having an almost “vacation” night at home with different decorations and music. You could also plan surprises or take turns planning special outings. A simple script you might use is, “I’ve been thinking about how we can make our time together even more fun; would you like to plan a surprise date night with me?” As a next step, choose one activity to try this week—perhaps a themed dinner or a walk in a new park—and make it a special moment to look forward to.
