Tips for a good date night

  • Put it on the calendar. A date you plan is more likely to happen than one you hope for.
  • Take turns choosing, so planning does not always fall on one person.
  • Try something new now and then. Research by Arthur Aron and colleagues links doing new and exciting things together with feeling closer.
  • Keep phones away for at least part of the time.

For more ideas, the app includes a date night ideas list you can save and plan from.

Questions

How often should couples have a date night?

There is no magic number. Pick a rhythm you can keep, like every week or every other week, and protect it. A short date at home still counts.

What if we have kids and no babysitter?

Turn on the "Kids at home" filter. It shows ideas you can do at home after bedtime, or with the kids along.
