What do date night goals look like?

A Number

You can do something like our 20 dates this year challenge. Also, you can set a firm goal to go out once a month. Perhaps it’s a time you’re still staying in, so you can plan fun dates at home a set number of times.
We love honoring our original Friday Night Date goal to have a date night at least once a week. But I know a lot of couples who go for one big date a month or plan a date night out and a date night in. They find a set number and routine, and they make it happen!
A Bucketlist

What do you actually want to do this year? Do you have an actual bucket list item to experience together? Are there dates you’d really like to go on and want to make happen? This is the time to dream up some fun, make some plans, and create the couple’s bucket list dates for the year!
