When you become a parent you find that you have little to no time on your own. And this time apart from being the couple that you once were can be difficult. Which is why it’s so important to take some time away from the kids every once in a while and have that very overdue date night.
Now, this doesn’t have to be a long date night. Simply a few hours away so that you can enjoy some time by yourself. If you’re unsure as to what to do on your upcoming date night, here are 5 suggestions that can get the ideas flowing:
A Walk Around The City
This simple date night is cheap and fun. Take a couple of hours and walk hand in hand through your local city. Exploring the different streets, shops and more, you’ll have plenty of time to catch up. You could also see if there are any local events going on there for you to enjoy such as a music or food and drink festival.
Grab A Drink
A date night can be as simple as heading to the local bar for a couple of drinks in the evening. If you don’t have the energy to sit through an entire meal together (most parents don’t!) then this is a fun alternative. Of course, if you choose to do this, make sure you book an Uber or Lyft for the journey home!
A Trip To The Movies
This good old fashioned date idea never fails to please. Grab your partner and head out to your local cinema. Buy some popcorn, drinks and other sweet treats and head into a new film of your choice.
If you really want to be nostalgic, look for a cinema or screening event when they show an older film – maybe one that you and your partner both love. A romantic evening out, it won’t cost you the world and is a relaxed way to spend some time together.

After dropping the kids off at a relatives or babysitters, you can bring out the Trivial Pursuit, Monopoly or another board game and have a wonderful few hours with your partner. A good way of reconnecting, you’ll love the fun that you can have.
