Weekly Dates

Oh I know what you're thinking right now, going out on dates can be pretty expensive. But remember guys, you have the choice on where to go or what to do on your date. It doesn't have to be expensive. You don't need to book for months in advance to dine in a fancy restaurant. Although that doesn't sound bad if you're celebrating something special like birthdays or anniversaries. But for weekly dates, just go easy on the wallet.

I believe that dating doesn't have to be expensive. And because it doesn't have to expensive, we can go out on dates anytime we want. My husband and I have made an agreement even before we got married that once a week we would go out for a date. Just the two of us. We usually schedule our dates on Sundays because he doesn't have work. But for those who have kids, Sundays are for families. Give your Sunday to your kids and families. Just set a schedule where you and your husband or wife can go out on a date alone.

Again, you don't need to dine in fancy restaurants. You can either take a walk around the subdivision, talking, holding each other's hands, kissing once in a while or you can put your kids to bed early and set a nice midnight snack for the two of you and you can cuddle each other on the sofa while watching a movie.  Make it simple yet romantic still. And dating are not only for the young ones, you can take your wife or husband out on a date even when you're old and grey.

Weekly dates strengthens the bond of the couple especially when you're already married. With all the hassles from work, from taking care of the kids and the house, both husband and wife deserves an alone time with each other. In our case, whenever we have our weekly dates, it gives us a relief from stress. And take note, we only talk about us, about our plans, and our dreams. Do not talk about problems or work related stuff because it will only ruin the mood. Just make each other feel special when you're out on your weekly dates. The most important thing is enjoying each other's company. And don't forget to give each other lots of warm tight hugs and long sweet kisses (or sloppy ones if you want to, my husband does!).

Go spread the love!
