Everything you need For “Nationwide Date Night” #DateNight918

Have you heard?? September 18th is “Nationwide Date Night!” We are big believers in Date Night around here. There is such a  power in connecting with the one you love on a regular basis. 

 

 

It’s like relationship cement...in a good way.

 

Just last week, we stole away for a much needed day trip.  It was so great to do something with each other outside the norm.  To steal a line from the door-to-door salesman that stopped by earlier, “It’s not just luxury, but truly, a necessity.”

 

 

 

So in order to help you celebrate #DateNight918 we are bringing you Date Night Ideas, 3 Date Nights to avoid AND even the PERFECT playlist to kick off that drive time in the car.

 

 

First Up, Date Night Ideas!  Keeping date nights fresh and life-giving can be a lot of work!  #TheStruggleIsReal There’s nothing wrong with the ole “Dinner and  a Movie,” (except that it can be a little spendy!)

So to up your dopamine ante, here are 3 Date Night Ideas you may NOT have tried:

Ok guys, you are all set!  Armed and ready with what to do, what NOT to do AND even what to listen to.
