Why Do I Want To Have An At Home Date Night?

I know, I know. You’re in the house all the time. Why on earth would you want to have an at-home date night with your husband?

Well, for one thing, you won’t have to hire a babysitter.

For another, you don’t have to spend a lot of money (anyone else a frugal mama?).

But more importantly, you can do it often. If you’re always waiting to go out, you might be lucky to have a dozen dates a year.

But an at-home date night? You can have 52 of them this year. Or 100. Or 365, if you really wanted to.

And your marriage is worth keeping fresh and flourishing.

It’s worth putting effort into and spending time on your relationship. That’s why this list of stay-at-home date night ideas for couples (that are almost free!) for married couples is one of the most awesome things you’ll read today.
