Happily E V E N After!! Just because you’re ma

Happily E V E N After!!

Just because you’re married doesn’t mean your dating life is over. 🙃 On the contrary, dating your spouse is one of the most important things you can do to have a happy & fulfilling marriage, whether you're newlyweds in your early twenties or you’ve been together for decades. 🤍

If you’ve been with your partner long enough to commit to marriage, chances are you’ve had the same date night multiple times over. 🤪 Variety, a sense of adventure, and newness are hallmark characteristics of what makes new love so exciting in the beginning. Many married couples often fall into a routine, doing the same thing over & over again and forgetting romance along the way. 🫣

Date nights are the perfect opportunity to rediscover what made you fall in love with your partner in the first place. 🥰 It’s so important to foster that novelty in your relationship if you want to keep feeding the flames of love over the years.

Going on dates forces you to think of new ideas for connection, bringing you outside of your comfort zones which is where the feelings of energy, passion & excitement are. Ditching the sweats & getting all dressed up for a date can make each partner feel that jolt of physical attraction again. If you’ve exhausted all your standby date night ideas, we’ve got you covered. 😉

Here are some of our favorite date night ideas. 🤩

👩‍🍳 Prepare dueling desserts: Nothing keeps a relationship fresh and exciting like a little friendly competition. Turn your kitchen into a Food Network set and challenge each other to make the best dessert.

📖 Read the same book: Read the same book at the same time together, stopping at every chapter or major plot twist to talk about your favorite parts or speculate about what you think will happen next.

🪂 Face your fears together: Do something that 1 or both of you are afraid of and overcome your fears together as a team. The mix of emotions paired with the success you feel after facing your fears will help strengthen your bond.

ATTENTION WITH INTENTION

Congratulations! 🍾 You’re engaged and entering into one of the most celebratory times of your life.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve had that secret Pinterest board for years, waiting just for wedding planning. But be cautious ⚠️ An abundance of inspiration can quickly hijack your vision, sweeping you away into falsely seeking out the “perfect” wedding.

But what does that even mean? 🤔 For everyone, the “perfect” wedding has a different meaning. And I’d encourage you to think of it from a unique perspective, this is what we call INTENTIONAL WEDDING PLANNING. 🤍 Instead of focusing on perfection, take the time to consider who you and your partner are as a couple, what is it that you value, and WHY couldn’t you imagine the rest of your life without them by your side.

What is important to you as a couple?

Do you go on weekly date nights to discover a new restaurant? Invest in an amazing caterer. 🥂🦪

Are you consistently entertaining friends with lavish dinner parties? Invest in flowers and wedding paper. 🌷🔖

Are your coffee tables covered with albums highlighting your most recent travels? Your dream photographer might be at the top of your list. 📷🎥

Whatever it is, remember to keep it true to yourself. 🫶🏼

HAPPY PLANNING!
