It's Time For A "Hot Date" & Don't Be Late!

If you've been in your marriage or relationship for longer than you can remember, then it's probably time for a "hot date night" and don't be late!

Remember when the two of you went on your first date?

You were more than likely dressed in your finer attire and looking like you just hit the jack pot. The butterflies, the anticipation of the unknown, resulted with sheer overwelming, romantic passion of star gazing into each other's eyes as the night came to a close. Just holding hands was enough to send major goosebumps up your spine and back down again. This was the night you fell in love. The night where your dreams and fantasies had finally come to life. The night you never wanted to end.


Now with marriage, careers, kids, and the dog, life has come full circle and dating has become much more difficult to arrange.
Most romantic evenings usually take place on the living room coach and often include a few extra "young guests". For some couples, they have just simply put dating on the back burner indefinitely or saved only for special occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays. Unfortunately, a lot of couples confess that they really do not have the time for dating or may be on a tight budget while raising a family. Quite frankly, for successful marriages or relationships, you really can't afford not to schedule in dating especially with the high stress of life. Scheduling in time where just the two of you share is a vital element in all healthy marriages or relationships and can be done to fit virtually any size budget.

There are so many romantic dating ideas to enjoy as a couple, just a few ideas are listed below:


1. Dinner night out at fancy local restaurants that offer live entertainment are always a hit and very romantic. Make sure to call prior to your arrival and reserve a romantic spot or cozy booth for two. Most couples only manage to schedule 1-2 nights out per month, so you'll want to make sure you get the most bang for your buck. Be prepared to budget $50.00 to $75.00 or more. Using discount
coupons are always a great way to save.


           












2. Dinner night at home can be equally as romantic with more time and money saved as an added benefit. If you have children, be sure to make prior arrangements with the grandparents, or put them to bed a little earlier if the grands aren't available. I would suggest having dinner in an area not normally used for everyday dining. If family dinners are usually done in your eat-in kitchen, then the dining room would be a better choice.
Dimming the lights or lighting scented candles, soft music, including serving up your finest bottle of wine will set the mood for an evening full of romance. Finish the evening with a great movie or catching up on great conversation and dessert will complete the evening.

3. Romantic beach dates are unforgettable and very affordable. Beaches are naturally romantic, calming, and very relaxing. Bring along a picnic basket loaded with his/her favorites, large beach umbrella, and blanket. Don't forget the sunscreen and your favorite card game. Beach dates tend to last longer, so make sure to schedule the whole day. You'll want to stay well past sunset to capture the beauty of the sunset sky for that added evening of romance. As an added bonus there are several beaches that offer live entertainment. Here is a short list of just a few:
Myrtle Beach, Luguna Beach, South Beach, and many more.

So, if you're in a marriage or relationship and it's starting to feel a little humdrum try adding a little spice to your life and start dating again.

Remember, there are a plethora of dating ideas and creating your very own special romantic evening can be fun and exciting while nurturing  relationships full of love, romance and everlasting memories.

Now, get out your calendar and start planning that special evening for just the two of you. ~
