GREAT DATE NIGHT IDEAS
Studies show creativity boosts intimacy. Our out-of-the-box date ideas are designed to move couples out of their rut and into a place of vitality. We realize some personalities prefer unconventional adventures while others prefer a more subdued date. While we certainly have some adventures waiting for those who seek it, for the dates that are particularly unconventional, we have a “conventional substitute” just for our low-key folks. Either way you choose, you will be sure to break out of the humdrum cycle of dinner and a movie.
EXAMPLES OF CREATIVE DATE NIGHTS
-
Progressive picnic – enjoy an appetizer at the place you first met, a main course at place you had your first date, and a dessert at place you had your first kiss
-
Put together a care package for a friend or family member who’s going through a difficult time and take it to them or mail it to them
-
Couples massage with detailed instructions
-
Take a walk through your (or nearby) neighborhood with provided scavenger hunt list

FOR HIM
- Week 1 - List 5 reasons you love your wife. Stick it in your wallet. The next time you are angry or frustrated with her, pull the list out and review it.
- Week 2 - Whisper in her ear one of the reasons you love her, "I love you because...," then give her a peck on her cheek or neck.
- Week 3 - Make your wife a hot bath with candles, soft music and her favorite snack. If you have kids, put them to bed while she's in the bath.
- Week 4 - Pray out loud at dinnertime. Mention in your prayer how grateful you are for your wife and family.
-
FOR HER
- Week 1 - Snuggle up to him. Brush your fingers through his hair for several minutes.
- Week 2 - The next time he's working on a project, sit silently near him, then compliment his work. It may not be this week, but don't forget.
- Week 3 - Plan an evening of intimacy with him. Give him a little tease of what's to come before he leaves in the morning.
- Week 4 - Tell him you believe in him. That dream he's been thinking about, or goal he has been working toward, tell him you believe he can do it.
MARRIAGE CHALLENGES
Bring life back into your marriage with our marriage challenges. Men and women typically have different needs and desires. Unfortunately, we tend to show love the way we receive love, and therefore "miss the mark" in showing love to one another. The marriage challenges are suggestions for you to do with, or for, your spouse to help you better meet your spouse's needs & desires and to put the spark back in your marriage. In addition to weekly texts to enhance the romance, you will receive a monthly suggestion for transforming your mindset and/or the way you deal with one another so you can resolve issues in a healthy way. The marriage challenges will come straight to your phone via text. Focus simply on following the prompts and you will see your marriage transform.
