While many couples understand the value of sneaking in an occasional date night to stay connected to their partner, the stress of managing kids, jobs, and general life unfortunately makes “couple time” fall to the bottom of the priority list.
But dates shouldn’t stop just because life gets busy. While dates may not be as spicy or convenient as they were before, spending some quality time with your significant other can give both of you a reminder of why you chose to spend your lives together in the first place and strengthen your relationship even more. Yes, juggling kids and other commitments can make finding time for a date challenging, but sneaking in some fun with your loved one can make home life so much more fun.
Here are some date ideas for couples with kids. If you aren’t lucky enough to score a babysitter, many of these fun suggestions can be enjoyed with children in tow. But if you can leave the kiddos at grandma’s to get some alone time with your SO, that’s even better!
