We are ready to be OUTSIDE. Traveling is back intact from the pandemic. Although that is the case,  many of us still prefer to stay at home, especially those of us with kids.

But just because you’re not going out doesn’t mean your date night has to be Netflix and takeout every week. If you need to shake up your romance routine, try one of these suggestions to make your time at home feel more exciting.

Partnership and marriage can be challenging, and having some professional guidance and advice along the way can be beneficial. However, not all couples relish discussing their problems with a stranger in therapy.

Fortunately, you can do numerous couples therapy exercises at home to strengthen your relationship and increase communication and trust. These couples therapy techniques can aid communication, help you to fight more fairly, and set goals for your future together.

Ready to introduce fairness? Here you are:

11 Ways to Create The Perfect Couples Retreat At Home

Perhaps you’re not in the mood to get fly, and all dressed up #storyofmylife, or your current situation just simply doesn’t cover a night out. In any case, believe us when we say you don’t have to leave your house to have a good time with your partner.

Check out these 11 surefire tips for an at-home couples retreat;

Perform a Trust Fall

A trust fall is a trust-building exercise that may appear minor but produces significant results. We may have done it as a fun activity with friends, but it can also be part of home couples therapy.

One partner stands behind their blindfolded spouse to perform a trust fall. The blindfolded partner will fall backward on purpose, and their partner will catch them.

It appears to be a simple game, but it requires trust and blind faith in the blindfolded partner’s partner to catch them. Then, fearing their partner will miss, the blindfolded partner may turn around.

This activity promotes teamwork, trust, and a sense of safety and security in the relationship. Remember to choose a safe location.

Watch a live stream of a dance club

Packed clubs? Not so much! If you want to dance in the comfort of your own home, let’s make it happen. Live-stream DJ sets from Instagram, Twitch, or YouTube and has a great experience dancing your life away with your love! 

Dress up, make cocktails (or mocktails!), and party in your living room.

Create a garden together

Add greenery to your home or yard. You and yours might enjoy getting your hands dirty and making your space feel lusher — Plus, you’ll be able to harvest your efforts and impress your children, visitors, and family members. People will replicate your lifestyle when you don’t have to buy berries or basil at the store. Checkmate.

Make a Marriage Retreat in a Box at Home

The marriage retreat box and subscription boxes are a unique, thoughtful, and rewarding experience for couples to be challenged in new ways to have fun and interact. The box includes interactive exercises, thought-provoking prompts, and learning opportunities to assist you and your partner in making room for the important conversations that shape your lives together.

The Marriage Retreat in a Box improves bonding allowing you to do a year’s worth of relationship-building in a single weekend. Because the box is self-contained, you can do it wherever and for however long.

Write an appreciation list

Some of the most effective couples therapy exercises involve restructuring your thoughts and feelings about your partner. An appreciation list is a great way to accomplish this.

Partners will list five things they appreciate about their partner, followed by five things their partner could do to make them feel more loved, secure, and appreciated.

Writing down and meditating on their spouse’s good qualities first allows partners to focus on the positive aspects of their relationship before looking for ways to improve love and communication in a constructive, rather than accusatory, manner.

Do a technology detox

Unplugging from technology and having a talking session is one of the best couples therapy exercises you can do.

Smartphones and devices are a great way to stay connected to the world, but they negatively impact your relationships. After all, how can you give your undivided attention to your spouse and have a momentous date night if you check your phone every ten minutes?

For this exercise, set aside at least 10 minutes daily to avoid distractions such as television, video games, and smartphones. Use these ten minutes to talk to each other. Exchange messages about what you like and appreciate about each other.

Do not interrupt each other. This feel-good activity promotes positive thinking and self-esteem. Many marriage counselors recommend avoiding technology and focusing on your partner as relationship-building activities for couples.

You can also go for a group meditation experience! Here’s a video that can help.

Relationship counseling or “honesty hour”

If you’re looking for the best couples therapy exercises for communication without a third-party present, schedule a relationship check-in, face-to-face, anytime from once a week to a month.

Couples will have an hour of honesty during which they will speak frankly but gently about the state of their relationship.

Partners will then be able to discuss any improvements they would like to see in their relationship or anything that is bothering them. The listening partner agrees not to overreact or be offended.

This arrangement allows both partners to listen as well as be heard. The relaxed atmosphere of this check-in should encourage partners to communicate freely, handle disagreements better and solve problems rather than attack one another.

Experts agree that this is one of the best trust-building exercises for couples because it can break down many emotional barriers.

Making a Vision for Your Family and Setting Goals for 2023

A self-hosted couples retreat is when you and your partner(s) take the time to have deeper, more focused discussions about topics that are important to you. You should ideally have a few uninterrupted hours for this time.

This allotted time should be life-giving rather than soul-sucking. Ideally, you can dream together and then decide on realistic steps to achieve those dreams.

Prepare a gourmet meal together

couple cooking together

Get out your recipe books (or look up your favorite fancy dish online) and spend an evening preparing a restaurant-quality meal for two or more! You’ll both gain confidence in the kitchen and have the opportunity to impress each other with your newly acquired culinary skills.

Engage in team-building activities

It’s time for a  team-building exercise now that you’re working on improving your relationship. This enjoyable step entails trying something new that requires you to rely on one another. You can make these couples’ therapy activities as enjoyable or difficult as you want.

Some ideas for team-building exercises include hiking, learning a new language on Duolingo together, making videos, learning an instrument together,  zip-lining, kayaking, or going to the gym.

You can make a list of activities you would enjoy trying together.

Share Music Together

Music has the power to be deeply personal and meaningful. Set aside some time to share your favorite music with no judgment. You can choose three songs with special meanings or try listening to relationship or couples podcasts to intrigue and enlighten you – together

Try choosing songs that remind you of each other. This selection can be made on various topics, including high school, heartbreak, our relationship, etc. Use questions after each selection to learn why those songs and what feelings they evoke. This will be a memorable moment to have. 

Any relationship therapist or relationship coach will tell you this activity can lead to important insights about your lover and the relationship. This type of sharing leads to a greater level of comprehension.

There you have it. We hope this itinerary helped you put things in perspective. Get to planning those at-home couple retreat getaways, we’re rooting for you!

But, if you feel like traveling, our list of the best couple retreat resorts worldwide should set you right on track.

Best of Luck!

Life has become dull. Things feel robotic. Wake up, shower, grab a coffee, work, take care of the kids, work, clean, connect with your partner, watch Netflix, and get in bed #repeat. That’s not how your day is really supposed to be. No shade — I did this yesterday, minus the kids. Sometimes though, there’s a drive to want more. An urge to experience more. 

So, how do you know it’s time for you and yours to get away? Sometimes it’s just that the standard date night formula has worn thin. Movies are all the same, and the new restaurant that opened down the road is exactly like the last one, and daily happenings have become an expected routine. But not for long with us. 

What could be more exciting? A trip to the other side of the world to hike the mountains, snorkel miles of coral reefs, climb snow-capped peaks, or ride a camel across the desert? Planning the ideal couples getaway can take more time than expected. When you have the desire, you know it is the right time to plan that couples retreat. Here are eight tips.

But first,

What is a Couple’s Retreat?

Couples retreats, aka couples experiences, couples spiritual reconnections, and couples goals, are one-of-a-kind vacation packages that get you to level up your life individually and in a relationship. 

Couples retreats are like a compilation of the best date night ideas, but shared with others – we know – even better. We want you to rekindle the fire. Stay connected. Build the good vibes. Connect with others and literally have such an incredible time that you don’t know what to do with yourself. It’s the escape from everyday stressors. The time needed to have the fun you so desperately needed, and the relaxation with a side of quality time coupled with incredible conversations that will warm your soul for a long time. Ready? 

This means no kids, no deciding what to cook for dinner, and no watching bad TV at night to unwind after a long day – we got you covered, FRIENDS!

8 signs its time for a Romantic Getaway

how to know your relationship needs a couple’s retreat
Source: istock

It’s easy to put our love lives on the back burner when life gets hectic. Investing energy and time in our romantic relationships may fall further down the priority list between work, kids, friends, and finances. Is this something you’ve heard before? However, there are many ways to rekindle the flame, and one of the best ways is to go on a relaxing, romantic vacation with your sweetheart.

Do you and your significant other(s) fit this description? We’ve put together a list of seven indicators that it’s time to book a romantic vacation.

You think you know everything about each other

If you’ve been in a relationship for a while, you’re familiar with each other. But what if you spent time away from your usual surroundings? Traveling to a new location and being in a new environment allows you to discover previously unknown facts about your significant other(s). It’s time to step out of your daily comfort zone to connect on another level. What are the secrets you may have been hiding from one another? What is it that you really want out of your relationship? Is there a sexual disconnect, and are you ready to have that eliminated? Get to the other side during a couples retreat. 

Lack of intimacy

This is one of the key indicators that your relationship requires an extended getaway.  In relationships, both intimacy and sex are essential. They are the elements that strengthen your relationship and remind you of your love for one another. However, these two can fade if you and your partner do not prioritize them. 

As a result, you may become emotionally and physically detached from your partner, straining the beautiful bond you once shared, almost like you’re in love with the wrong person.

On the other hand, attending a couples retreat can help you rekindle the love you once had and improve your sex life. We know we ALL want that!

Rise of Infidelity issues

Reasons for infidelity should be discussed openly and honestly. This can destroy a previously successful partnership or marriage if left unresolved. It can also exacerbate unnecessary bitterness and trust issues that could have been avoided if the issue had been addressed. 

So, if you and your partner are having infidelity problems, consider attending a Couples Retreat, even if it is only for a weekend, to try to work through and talk things out…

You feel more like roommates than lovers

When you start to feel like your partner is more like a roommate than your lover, you should seek professional help. And the only way to get this kind of assistance is to attend a couples retreat to rekindle your love, discuss issues, be around others that may have tackled the same issue, and explore a newfound reality for your relationship.  

On the brink of divorce

When you are considering divorce, it is time to attend a couples retreat vacation to try to save your marriage. You should also consider a couples retreat if you and your partner constantly argue over the same issues and no longer laugh.

Furthermore, it is time to seek professional assistance if you cannot have meaningful conversations with them.

Love feels like a routine

Routine is good, but if your love life is the same day in and day out, it might be time to shake things up with a destination to light things up. New surroundings make for new experiences! What better way to spice up your life than to plan the vacation you’ve always wanted to take with the person you care about the most?

There’s no teamwork

Allowing yourself to be vulnerable with the other person is the key to deeper intimacy in your relationship. If you haven’t reached this level of comfort, or things have shifted from where they once were, consider venturing outside your comfort zone and traveling together to a foreign country with folks that can converse about real-life couple happenings. Everything isn’t always perfect – let’s talk it through. 

By putting yourself in a vulnerable position, you will learn to trust one another and maybe even make some outside connections that become your advisors or best friends. Now you will be able to work as a team to overcome communication barriers and navigate seemingly tough issues and unexpected life happenings. So allow yourself to flex those trust muscles once more! We got you!

You are feeling disconnected

When did you spend time intentionally with your significant other without distractions? If the answer is “I don’t remember,” it’s probably time to invest time away together! Take advantage of the time you have together and give your undivided attention to the love of your life. Bonus tip: Turn off your phones to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with each other.

What Is The Difference Between Couples Counseling And A Couples Retreat?

There is a distinction between a couples retreat and couples therapy. While both assist couples in maintaining a healthy relationship, each option can be a great choice and may solve relationship concerns. While a couples retreat may allow you to isolate yourself and focus on specific aspects of your relationship, therapy will likely examine the overall nature of your bond with your partner. A quality couples retreat will allow you to do both. Experience more together. Connect on a deeper level and an opportunity to tackle the deep issues you may have. 

How Do Couples Retreat Work?

Couples retreats are an excellent way to rejuvenate your relationship while enjoying a uniquely romantic and experiential getaway away from the stresses of everyday life. A retreat allows you to disconnect from work, children, and daily responsibilities. Instead, you can escape, look inward, and concentrate on yourself and one another. 

Retreats are typically held in a private, cozy, and lovely setting, allowing you to receive personalized attention while re-establishing and improving your relationship. Retreats typically include discussions, lectures, fun activities, games, quality time, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences while connecting with like-minded individuals. 

In addition to a special journey into the depths of your personality and relationship, you can enjoy outstanding recreational opportunities, fine dining options, and quiet time in the serenity of your retreat destination during your couples retreat.

There you have it. We hope this itinerary helped you put things in perspective. If you feel things zoning out with someone you plan to spend forever with, by all means, indulge!

And if you need an extra hand, check out these Simple Ways to Make Your Partner Feel Wanted.

Best of Luck!

We recommend taking some time to enjoy a romantic date night out stargazing. Find a quaint and quiet spot outdoors at a park somewhat far away from the city so you can marvel at the beauty of the stars together. Stargazing is a great way to connect with your partner and appreciate the natural world around us.

19. Spend an Evening in LoDo

An evening in Lower Downtown (LoDo) can be a lot of fun for couples. The neighborhood is home to many popular restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Enjoy dinner and drinks in one of Denver’s most popular neighborhoods.

Coloradans enjoy being outside as much as they enjoy eating and drinking, whether the weather is sunny, cloudy, or cool. But why choose favorites when you can do everything at once? There are even more patios to choose from since the pandemic too!  Many rooftops in Denver have bars and restaurants, and an expanded outdoor seating over the last two years thanks to programs offered by the City of Denver and several suburbs.

Rooftop bars and restaurants abound, but which is the best for a romantic night out? We compiled a list of 12 of the best rooftops in Denver so read on for your next date night adventure!

12 Best Romantic Bars and Rooftops In Denver

Denver is the ideal city for an outdoor drink or meal, with over 300 days of sunshine and a thriving food and beverage scene. With summer quickly approaching and temperatures rising, there’s only one thing you need: a killer patio—OK, and possibly an equally killer drink.

When you combine breathtaking views with the thriving craft brewery and distillery scenes, you’ll look for a great rooftop spot to sip a brew, glass of wine, or craft cocktail.

Patios are common at restaurants throughout Denver, but great rooftop bars are few and far between. 

We’ve got 12 of our favorite romantic rooftop bars in Denver listed below:

Englewood Grow & Gather

Grow & Gather Englewood indoor garden

Opening Hours: 

8 am – 10 pm (Tue-Saturdays)

Closed (Sun-Mondays)

Englewood’s Grow & Gather already has a lot going on: the former automotive shop now houses a hydroponic farm, urban garden, market, greenhouse, and the Feeder restaurant. However, one of the best places to enjoy all that hyper-locally grown produce is on the rooftop, at a table nestled between the greenhouse and the grow bed retaining wall. 

Looking for tips? For brunch, try an On the Fence kombucha or a Huckleberry Roasters cortado, or for happy hour, try one of the house cocktails made with Family Jones spirits. Then, enjoy the romance with your partner on this rooftop restaurant in Denver.

54thirty

Opening Hours: 

4 pm – 11 pm (Mon-Wednesdays)

4 pm – 12 am (Thursdays)

1 pm – 12 am (Fridays & Saturdays )

54thirty, Denver’s highest open-air rooftop bar, is located on the 20th floor of the Le Meridien Hotel. The bar, named after its elevation of 5,430 feet, is popular—how could the city’s highest al fresco rooftop bar not be? So get there early or be prepared to wait. It provides plenty of sun during the day, fire pits on chilly nights, and Instagram cred at all times.

The Palisade Mule is a Colorado-inspired cocktail made with vodka, peach cordial, thyme, lime, and ginger beer. One of the best rooftop bars in Miami for a sun-kissed Instagram couple pic. Don’t you think?

The Chingones

Opening Hours: 

3 pm – 10 pm (Tuesdays)

11 am – 10 pm (Wed, Thursday & Sundays)

11 am – 11 pm (Fri & Saturdays)

Los Chingones serves Mexican-inspired cuisine that, while not traditional, is delicious. Try the watermelon, jalapeno, and cilantro-tossed white fish ceviche or the Bad Ass Fundido. Believe it or not, the bartender is as inventive as the chef. The Panther Milk shot; we’ll leave it to you to figure out what’s in it. 

Los Chingones also serves brunch, so sit on their sunny rooftop terrace with a bloody green mary and a chicken and waffle taco. Give us a reportif you had a great time at this Mexican rooftop restaurant in Denver. We will wait!

There is no bad seat in the house at Boulder’s Corrida.

The mountains are right there, whether you’re toasting from the expansive patio or the elegant dining room, providing the perfect backdrop for selfies or staring, depending on how you roll.

If a gin-tonic cart comes to your table, don’t hesitate to try it. And get some for your date too. *winks* 

The Woods

Opening Hours: 

7 am – 10 pm (Sun-Thursdays)

7 am – 11 pm (Fri & Saturdays)

The Source Hotel’s eighth-floor rooftop bar and restaurant, the Woods, is one of our favorite places to take in the unrivaled combination of the city skyline and mountain views. The wraparound terrace is our favorite spot, but even indoor tables have views thanks to massive windowed garage doors. It’s even better when they’re flung open on nice days.

A rooftop restaurant in Denver with a view? Amazing drinks you can try while at it? A romantic spot for a night out? You’re very welcome!

The Golden Mill

Opening Hours: 

11 am – 10 pm (Sun-Saturdays)

When the Golden Mill opened, it not only added more food options to the west side but also added a great rooftop to the Front Range’s already stellar lineup. The rooftop is the best seat in the house, or should we say on the house, with views of Table Mountain and the equally iconic Coors brewery. 

Apart from the trendy food (hot chicken sandwiches! Birria gorditas! Poke! ), there’s a massive self-pour tap wall with 50 local craft beers.

You know you’ve got to try something from that tap wall – thank us now!

That means you can eat at seven different restaurant concepts (which rotate every few months) under one modern roof.

An added benefit? The most successful Avanti concepts often expand out and get their separate locations, making the restaurant a great place to try brand new and up-and-coming Denver restaurants.

Head to the bar on either of the two floors for a cocktail, beer, or glass of wine. Then, head upstairs to one of the Mile High City’s favorite rooftop bars for stunning views of downtown Denver.

What is it that they say about Los Angeles? Plenty of things. One thing is for sure,  the sunsets are breathtaking making Los Angeles an ideal location for romantic rooftops. It is suggested you take some time to sit on a rooftop, order a drink, eat, and relax with a loved one. With so many new rooftop restaurants and bars in town, we’ve narrowed this list down to the city’s best romantic spots.

11 Top Romantic Rooftops In LA

Spectacular views of the glittering city lights or gorgeous pink-and-orange sunsets (thanks to the smog), accentuated by seaside castles and palms, elevate happy hour. But, of course, the top floor of the desired space, is the best place to be in Los Angeles. 

Here are some of our favorite sky sceneries where you may enjoy cocktails, music, cuisine, and good times.

Mama Shelter Rooftop

Mama Shelter, described as “far more than just a simple rooftop,” is an outstanding choice for anyone looking for tasty dishes and a lively environment. Mama Shelter, which overlooks the Hollywood sign and the Los Angeles skyline, is known for its Californian recipes, homemade delicacies, and excellent lunches.

The interior is entertaining and bright, with huge lounge sofas, standard tables, and an overall patio ambiance that makes this restaurant a must-visit.

Drinks include a wide selection of international and Californian beers and wines and innovative signature cocktails such as “Mama’s Own Mule Bar.”

The majority of the dishes served are large enough to share, making Mama Shelter an ideal option for a longer visit with friends, your lover, or after-work drinks.

Catch LA

Catch LA is the west coast outpost of the famous New York restaurant of the same name – CATCH. It is located above the lively streets of West Hollywood’s design district, on the corner of Melrose and San Vicente.

CATCH is a popular and globally inspired seafood restaurant in New York, Dubai, and Playa del Carmen. It is a typical shop for food and beverage experiences, offering a little of everything during the day and for dining, nightlife, and events.

With its trademark open kitchen and simply stunning views of downtown Los Angeles and the Hollywood Hills, CATCH is one of the nicest rooftops in California in terms of food, service, and atmosphere. This rooftop haven welcomes all guests with fantastic seafood. Expect to enjoy sushi and Asian-inspired dishes during your visit. 

CATCH (no pun intended) their brunch options along with days or evenings filled with booming music from a featured DJ. 

Bar Bohemian

Bar Bohemian is one of the most subtle rooftop bars in Los Angeles. This is partly owing to its small size, but for those who brave the winding stairs leading up to the small food hall, this cozy, primarily outdoor watering establishment offers everyday excellent vibes and even better cocktails. It really is a stunning place! With a gorgeous bush-lined terrace after sunset, it’s the perfect setting to meet an internet date or to gather with old friends. 

The cocktail selection at Bar Bohemian is also full of unexpected surprises, with unusual distillers like locally manufactured Amass Botanicals and non-alcoholic Seedlip. For example, their La Bohéme cocktail combines gin or vodka with dry vermouth, maraschino cherry, and orange bitters for a powerful but sweet drink that will make your chest hair stand on end. 🙂

Hotel Erwin’s Rooftop Lounge

Beachside rooftops are unexpectedly scarce on the Westside, making Hotel Erwin’s rooftop lounge a popular hangout for friends, partners, boardwalk tourists, and anyone looking for views west of Lincoln Boulevard. Make a reservation, even if you’re staying at the hotel. There’s nothing like a brilliant sunset over the Pacific with a martini in hand to get your pulse pumping and keep the cocktails flowing. Is it becoming chilly outside? 

Visitors in the evening can relax in one of the bar’s plush blankets while sipping spiced cocoa or a hot toddy. Stick to local craft breweries to mix with appetizers like gourmet sliders and street tacos. 

The Eveleigh In West Hollywood

The Eveleigh in West Hollywood is a stunning and intimate rooftop restaurant with a rustic, charming patio atmosphere. The warm flickering glow of candles illuminates the room, allowing you to fully appreciate the glittering lights of the city below and the stars above. Seared diver scallops and heirloom tomatoes with burrata are among the dishes on the farm-to-table menu, which is influenced by country cooking. Romance awaits here. 

The Wilshire Rooftop, Wilshire Boulevard

If you’re searching for poolside dining on a rooftop, the Kimpton Hotel Wilshire’s Rooftop Restaurant is the place to go. The Roof on Wilshire is a lush manicured facility that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day. The dynamic menu offers twists on American classics inspired by LA’s numerous nationalities. The food is served while overlooking the Hollywood Hills. Cheers!

The Highlight Room, Hollywood

The Highlight Room is a luxurious 11,000-square-foot outdoor rooftop lounge, pool, and grill, and is the crown jewel of the Dream Hotel in Hollywood. The menu, which is available for brunch, lunch, and dinner, features California-inspired cuisine, such as fresh salads, seafood, and vegetarian options. The views of the Los Angeles skyline and the Hollywood sign from the lush rooftop restaurant are unrivaled.

Elephante Beach House, Santa Monica

In the center of downtown Santa Monica, Élephante Beach House is a busy rooftop restaurant. The bohemian vibe and Continental food and drinks transport you to another world. You have the impression of being at the Italian seaside! The Pacific Ocean waves provide the vistas and soundtrack as you eat. Fried calamari, housemade pasta – including spicy vodka spaghetti – creamed eggplant served with freshly baked Puccia bread, and burrata pizza is among the menu’s highlights. Hungry yet?

Perch LA

Perch LA is most def a Downtown rooftop hotspot. Its breathtaking 360-degree views are now available! Take the elevator to the 15th floor and waltz through the eclectic interior of the bar and restaurant, which is filled with vintage oddities and colorful textiles. Then, pass through the arches and onto the outdoor terrace, surrounded by lush greenery and fire pits, to watch the sunset over the city. On the 16th floor, there is an open rooftop terrace with panoramic views of the city – breathtaking!

Margot LA

With Spanish-style tapas, seasonal artisan drinks, and a lovely blend of natural furnishings, contrasted with bright centerpieces, highlighted with vibrant tiles, and peppered with sun-loving plants, this Culver City hotspot embodies the best of the Mediterranean. Imagine yourself on a small Balearic coastal terrace with nothing but beautiful skies as your ceiling. If things get too hot or too cold, the greenhouse-like indoor portion is a charming place to go.

Terra

A Century City rooftop sanctuary perched atop the massive Eataly LA, Terra is a little slice of Italian heaven. Before stepping onto the sunny terrace with panoramic views of the Hollywood Hills, you’ll ascend a spiral staircase, catching a peek of the wood-burning grill where the lovely seasonal ingredients are brought to life. Terra focuses on seasonal foods cooked over open flames to bring out their rich aromas. Of course, nothing goes better with this earthy cuisine than herbal drinks or a fine Italian wine overlooking the Los Angeles cityscape. Bon Appétit!

Valentine’s Day feels like it just happened, right? Well, if you want to relive that moment, show your love by planning the most romantic date possible. From going on a romantic hike to dining at a favorite restaurant, there are plenty of date ideas out there that will make your lover’s heart race in anticipation. It’s the experience we cherish most in a relationship. The stature when you feel closer to your partner is the moment of what we actually call ‘Love’.

“Dating, whether it’s your 15th or 150th, is one of the easiest and most effective ways to keep your relationship healthy and long-lasting,” words by Esther Boykin, licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the novel “The Date Deck”

The Most Romantic Date Ideas to Fall Deeper In Love

There are many ways to have a romantic date with your partner. This article will tell you some of the most popular ideas that can help you in planning the perfect date.

1.    Plan a Surprise Romantic Date At Home

Surprises, just as long as all parties are comfortable with the idea, can really provide an added boost in a relationship. You can plan a surprise for your love like a sudden meet-up after a tiring day.

Small Things Matter the Most.

Unplanned surprises are most memorable. Make sure you take care of every small detail like what to cook or how to dress, what movies to play, and how to engage with each other in the most sensual ways possible.

Make your partner feel special – cherish them with love and special gifts. Calm your partner by watching TV with a bottle of their favorite wine. Feed them strawberries and chocolate. Whatever it is you do, always remember just one simple fact – dating is so much more than you think it is.

Check out our Best Game Night Ideas to make your night even more special!

2.    Bonfire with Your Date

If you want to keep the fire alive, you should sit by the fire, on a sexy evening, with your soul mate. Stare into one another’s eyes. Stay silent and relish in one another’s company, because time can never be replaced. As you enjoy the moments of your relationship with your love, let them know exactly how you feel about them.  

3.    Role play Dating

Couples who are romantic and erotic at the same time have fruitful and long-lasting relationships. You know the couples that say to one another “Let’s try something new.”

The best way to maintain a fire burning inside is to always embrace romance. Let your partner know your desires in bed and outside the bed. Dress in your sexy attire. Turn your partner on and wait for a great night of love and affection you may have never experienced before together. When your partner says, let’s do it all over again, you know you have done something right. Cheers!

Want to play a different romantic role with your partner? You must read our Best Romantic Movies article to get some ideas.

4.    Hot Air Balloon Ride

A hot air balloon ride is also a well-known method to make your romantic date more peaceful and sparkling at the same time. It is the ride that offers time to express your feelings to one another in what feels like heightened silence, with a view surrounding you. You can talk about the intensity of love between both of you, or simply kiss passionately as you engross yourself in this new experience. Some sample romantic date questions are listed below.

  • What’s your favorite habit while lovemaking?
  • What do you like about me?
  • What would be an adventure you would like to experience next?

Or you could pop the question of all lifetimes…“Will you marry me?” Just in case you need to know if you have found the Right One, we are here for you!

5.    Rent a Paddle Boat

Renting a boat will for sure make for a romantic date idea. The scenic and romantic vibe a boat and water offer are truly irreplaceable.

6.    Cooking Together Date Night

There’s nothing quite as romantic and simple as a dinner date night. Whether you’re going out to a nice restaurant or cooking your own meal at home, a dinner date is a perfect way to get to know your partner better.

From the best recipes to kitchen tips, we’ll have you cooking up a storm in no time!

Easy Dishes to Cook Together:

  • Pasta
  • Steak with wine
  • Shrimp dish
  • Veggie stir-fry

Candlelight dinners are a popular romantic option that can be enjoyed in any setting. Whether you’re looking for a candlelight dinner for two or a romantic dinner for a large group, both are perfect for couples looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Plus, candlelight dinners are a unique way to show your love and appreciation for each other.
