How to Plan a Date Night

Do treat it like your first date. Go all out: play dress-up (from your lingerie to your heels), shave your legs, dab on some of his favorite perfume, and be prepared to be blinded by his smile. Your hubby loves you no matter what you are donning, but making the extra effort to impress him here and there just shows that you still feel the same way about him as you did when you first started dating. If you’re lucky, he will follow your lead!

Don’t talk shop. This isn’t the time to discuss finances, the kids’ trouble at school, or what repairs need to be made around the house. Keep the conversation moving in a positive direction – talk about a future plan for vacation or reminisce on your honeymoon. Whatever it is that brings you closer as a couple is fair game!

Do end the night right. Physical intimacy isn’t only fun, but a crucial component to a satisfying relationship. It’s a healthy and exciting way to celebrate one of the greatest gifts you have – each other. Before you know it, you’ll be wishing every night was Tuesday night!
