One thing I know, we, as men, need to take our significant other out more often… alone. I realized after Staci and I separated, and later reconciled many years ago, we needed “us time”. There is something about the one-on-one time that builds your relationship and can really sweep her off her feet (if done right).

I would enjoy hearing your ideas for the next time I need one in a pinch. Plus, it keeps our relationship exciting when we can add new activities to our list.

You gave a lot of great and fun ideas. I will have to try some of them. We have season tickets for our soccer team so that is always a fun date night. I would like to buy a pair of bikes and go riding along the beach for a day date!

Those are really great ideas, some are actually pretty funny, lol. What Hubby and I love to do on Date Night is go down to Joe Louis Arena and cheer on our Detroit Red Wings. There’s nothing like a live Hockey game especially if your both seriously into it as my Husband and I are. I can’t wait for Hockey season to begin. Hmmm… I wonder what Hubby would do ifI just busted out with a pillow fight, lmbo, he’d probably think I was nuts, but I bet he’d join in a kick my butt!!! LOL. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the article. Some really good ideas. I’ll be forwarding your link to my husband… A “subtle” hint, don’t you think?? 😉

What good ideas! People make fun of us but some of our favorite date nights involve having a quick dinner and going to a high school wrestling match. My husband is a coach so we get to scout out other teams while we’re spending time with each other.
