Last year I had the opportunity to join Kristin Sherlock in the studio at The Davis Catalyst Studio to record an episode for her podcast, Davis County Community Spotlight. I drafted this post and then neglected to publish it to tell you all about the podcast officially! I had so much fun chatting with Kristin and I hope you will give our episode a listen.

Whenever you start having discussions about date night, you’re bound to have some sort of conversation about what couples talk about, or don’t talk about, when they’re out on a date together. When all else fails, or when you want some inspiration to get your conversations started, I’ve got you covered! I put together a post with all of my favorite conversation starter apps, books, and cards and why I love them!

Whether you’ve been together for a couple of days, or multiple months, a year or two, or more than half of your lifetime, you should be in pursuit of your partner. Does your partner know how much you appreciate them being in your life and that you are smitten with them? There should be no question in your loved one’s mind about how much you enjoy their company.

The ability to have fun and laugh as a couple is just as important as your ability to manage your finances, parent as a team, and communicate clearly. Having fun together helps keep the romance alive and helps you connect more as a couple.

“How do you make date night at home feel different than every other night at home?” This is a question that I get on a fairly regular basis. It’s something that people are really curious about right now, as our only option for date night has been at home or nothing. So I wanted to share some tips to help you make your time at home together more intentional!

The focus for a lot of people at the beginning of a new year is to set goals to become a better version of themselves in the coming year. I’m curious if you’ve ever done the same as a couple, to make your relationship a better version of itself?

A lot of you have requested more education over here on Davis County Dates and I thought that all of the great information about the love languages that is over on A Prioritized Marriage fits the bill.

I’ve heard it said that date night is a lot more enjoyable and less expensive than divorce. So no matter your situation, your marriage is worth the investment. That’s why I suggest that couples budget for date night each month.

When we started making date night more of a priority, we noticed that there were habits we'd fallen into that were keeping date night from really making a difference for our marriage. We set what we considered rules for our date nights to keep us in check. I don't like to call them rules anymore, I consider them more of guidelines. Guidelines that make date night count and help us grow closer as a couple.

After talking to many couples about their date night habits, I found that the majority wish that they could increase the frequency of their dates and add some variety to their date night activities. I've decided that maybe our use of the term "date night" puts too much pressure on intentional quality time, making it more difficult than it needs to be.
