The key to keeping the spark alive in most relationships is unbelievably simple—never stop courting! Experts suggest making time for dates and trips. If you don’t find the time, energy or the budget for it, however, there’s no reason to settle. Some of the best dates in life are cheap, easy and can be organised within the comfort of your home. Here are a few examples.
Video games: Ever feel left out when he and his friends go crazy with those controllers and excitedly scream at their players on the screen? On your night in with him, try being his video game buddy and see how much fun it is to join him, yell alongside him and maybe even beat him at the game.
Living room campout: Pitch a tent in the living room with lamps, homemade hot dogs and s’mores for effect. You could also put the sleeping bag to interesting use.
Spa sessions: Few things are as instantly therapeutic as massages. Kick it up a notch and google a few ideas for different spa treatments that can be done at home.
Game night: Try a round of twister, a naughty version of hide and seek or even simple board and card games with an element of stripping added to them, and suddenly you will find yourself wanting to stay in rather than go out.
Kitchen joys: The kitchen is a fun place when it’s you and the SO there together. You could either whip up a dish together or have a cook-off, either way you will end up with a lot of good food. If you’re not in the mood to cook, you could simply melt chocolate or cheese sauce in a fondue vessel or a slow cooker over a stove top, put together bread and other snacks to go with it, and make it a fondue night.
YouTube: Want to know a really great place for karaoke? YouTube! No, really! Look it up and then have a fun gig at home. If singing is not your thing, you could always look up a dance tutorial instead and dance the night away.
Memory lane: Open a bottle of wine and go through old photos and videos. You could reminisce about the wonderful times you have spent together or trade stories about your lives before you met.
DIY time: Have an arts and crafts night. You could try your hand at painting, making furniture for your home or even simple mementos like photo magnets for your refrigerator.
