Date Night Bucket List

2:05 PM


If you have been married for any amount of time I am sure you have heard the importance of keeping date night alive.  We sure have!  At the beginning of our marriage we decided to make it a priority, but often find ourselves stuck in a rut.  Partially due to our creativity and partially due to our small budget.  In an attempt to keep the "magic alive" I scoured the internet and came up with a Date Night Bucket List.  I thought I would share the love and show you our Date Night Ideas, because the couple that plays together stays together!



Date Night Bucket List:

The best part of all of these ideas is that you have no idea what adventure they may hold and what you will learn about your spouse.  Often it is the unplanned part of the date that turns out the best.  Like that one time we went to Tulsa and we ended up feeding squirrels out of our hands at a park.  I loved every second of it. 

Do you have any great date ideas we should add to our list?  Any fantastic date night adventure stories?  I am always up for some grand new ideas.  Leave a comment and fill me in.
