go out on "date nights" with my spouse on a regular basis

We were both feeling a little down in the dumps yesterday due to a fight/talk/discussion the night before about some issues we are having in our relationship. So last night we decided to go on a little date. It took some coaxing to get my husband out of his rut to do something fun, but once we did, we had a really great night! We got a pizza, went to the park and ate it in a pavillion, walked around the lake, and got frozen yogurt. We turned what was going to be a crappy, mopey, passive-aggressive night into something fun and out of the norm. It was one of the best times I have had with him in a while and today we are both in a great mood.

But we are going to a dinner and a movie Saturday and a baseball game Sunday since our anniversary is on Monday. We just haven’t had the money to go out. Any ideas on what to do for a date night at home? Maybe we will have a picnic LOL!

Because we can’t really afford it. We will think of something different to do for now.

This is tough because we are tight on money now but we have done it a few times over the past several months. My husband just got a new job so once we get our budget down and things pick up I think this will become a more regular thing for us.

We try to do dates but we always end up doing something else. I’m going to try and make it a point to have at least one date night a month with him.
