Are you fed up of spending every night watching the same television show with your other half? Are you bored of the same routine, the same conversations and the same old argument about who’s turn it is to take out the bins? It may just be time for you to start a date night!
A large part of being in a relationship is always taking the time to make an effort with your other half, and scheduling a date night once a week can be a great way to get the quality time that you really need! But want can you do on a date night, and how can you keep things fresh, different and fun? Take a look at this list of date night ideas and revitalise your relationship this weekend!
#1 Bike Rides and Pub Lunches
Instead of lying aimlessly on the sofa this weekend, why ot head out for a nice long bike ride? Exercise is a great way to bond with your partner; the release of endorphins can lead to a heightened happiness during your cycle. Plus, you can always stop off at the pub during your bike ride!
#2 Hotel Stays and Days Away
Start planning a holiday! Even just one night in a hotel can be the break that both you and your partner really need. Plus, staycations don't have to be expensive when you make use of discount promo codes!
#3 Long Walks Exploring
There is something about going on a long walk that really allows you and your other half to open up to one another. This is a great way to start talking about those things other than whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher! Relish in the opportunity to really connect with, and open up to, your other half.
Top Tip: try heading further afield on a walk that you haven't been on before. Part of what makes date night so special is the fact that you get to try new things with your partner!
#4 Comedy Nights Down The Boozer
#5 Favourite Movie & Snack Night
If you and your partner are used to spending you Friday nights watching the same old television programmes then it may just be time for you to change it up a little bit. Watch the other person’s favourite film and get in some great snacks! Make sure you watch something a little different, pop on the candles and have a nice snuggle!
#6 Those Who Sweat Together, Stay Together
#7 Relax Together With Spa Breaks
#8 Board Game Fun
#9 Explore Different Restaurants
If you and your partner are feeling a little less romantic recently then it may just be time that you wine and dine one another.

#10 Cooking Food Together
While ordering a takeaway on a Friday night might be the routine, it may just be time that you started cooking with your partner. Making something fun and messy, like tacos or cupcakes, can be a really fun and romantic experience. Especially if you turn on the music and start sipping some wine!
