In the post, Rethinking Dating with a Large Family, we shared the idea looking at date night not as "date NIGHT", but maybe "date DAY." For larger families with busy schedules, squeezing in a regular weekly or month date night is a real challenge. Just try finding some privacy and one-on-one time in the evening as your fishing homework, chores, bath time, bedtime, and clean up. Just saying all of those tasks is exhausting.
So what do you do when you can't set aside time for routine date nights? You start having date days! Instead of trying to go out on a week night or a weekend evening, think about how you might share time during the day together. Make it a Date Day! As part of the post we gave a very short list of about 5 mid-day date ideas, with the promise to come back and expand that short list. So, today we're here with a list of 25 mid-day date ideas for you and your spouse! As with all dating ideas, you will have to balance budget, time, resources, and actual availability. This list of 25 ideas is simply that, ideas. You should discuss with your spouse which of the following ideas are feasible for you in your context. Here we go! 25 Dating Ideas for the Day Time
11. Visit the local mall and try on some new clothes.
12. Take your spouse to lunch. 13. Visit a local festival. 14. Find a little, unknown restaurant you've never eaten at and have lunch. 15. Take a painting class. 16. Visit a car lot and take a test drive or two. 17. Go window shopping in a cute, small town nearby. 18. Get ice cream together. 19. Get water ice together. (We're big fan's of Rita's Italian Ice.) 20. Drive out to a secluded location and have a picnic and one-on-one time.
This list really got us thinking about ideas for other "date day" and "date night" activities. so, watch for a few more lists coming soon! In the meantime, try out one or more of our ideas than come back and let us know what you did, and how it went! We'd love to hear from you!
