This is a BIG one for many couples. And, honestly, we’ve been there too. But, after a while, it started to take a toll on our communication and closeness with one another.

In the busyness of life, date nights are a breath of fresh air for a married couple. They allow us to talk through our feelings, to laugh, and to get away from the grind for awhile. I think most of us can agree that date nights are a GOOD thing. Even so, we tend to make excuses as to why we can’t have a regular date night. But, excuses won’t get us anywhere.

We must find a system that works for us, and make date nights happen. As a family that has moved several times, this meant we had to find reliable babysitters shortly after we moved to a new town. We didn’t live near family, so we found the sitters at our church and in our neighborhood. We also signed up for the monthly “parents night out” at our local YMCA. This has worked great for us over the years.

When it comes to budgeting for a date night, it can be tricky at times. Even if you can only afford to go once a month, I highly encourage you to do it. Eventually, you might be able to tweak the budget to allow a bi-montly or even a weekly date night. Just make sure you do it regularly. This will give you both something to look forward to, and it will greatly improve your marriage.
