Who knew that buying a fun Date Night deck of cards could bring such uplift?
What do you know?
Turns out it really isn't that difficult.
I guess it never was.
You hear a lot of times where couples find challenge in maintaining the new energy in their relationships, falling into a pattern without intrigue or innovation.
Well, that's silly.
There can be something NEW every day! Case in point ... have you ever thought of making candles together? Bet not!
But I do get it. Everyday life can come along and set solid the routine. Such a routine routine can steal away the idea of new adventures.
That's why I believe couples need to keep an open and flexible mind. The idea of no new horizons must come from an old and lazy way of thinking.
My wife and I do well in considering new trails to blaze, especially since we get in a 30-minute walk daily.
For Valentine's Day, I bought my wife a book "Fun & Adventurous Date Night Box - Scratch Off Card Game with Exciting Date Ideas." Within it, there are 35 cards representing a creative date idea a couple can use each week.
They even make it somewhat suspenseful by having the ideas on the cards accessible after scratching off the gray covering, like a lottery scratch-off ticket.
So far, we've had three creative "Dates" - a scavenger hunt around the house, a Dollar Tree 5-gift extravaganza, and for tonight: making our own candles. A brilliant idea, these date suggestions help to channel the intrigue and adventure that is already alive within the relationship.
I think couples just need a structure and a nudge. The love is already there, the fun is already there, the connection is already there.
Nothing is lost really except for possibly a bit of focus.
And with that refocusing can come a ton of fun, some adventures never dreamed of, and the return of a light that has never gone out.
Come on folks. It's not that difficult. Turns out it never really was.
