Okay, 

What do you mean by dating exactly? 

In today's world dating means spending your quality time with your loved ones. That could be your spouse, your friends, your dad or mom, your daughter or son or even your grandparents. We believe in this and we deliberately enjoy this kind of date night frequently. Nowadays dating is not  restricted to boyfriends and girlfriends.

Yes, Husband and wife should go on a date. Because once you become parents your priority automatically changes and you will get buried in responsibility. Both of you forget to have your own personal life too. 

I believe if parents are happy the vibes of the house will be happy. 

So , How can we date our partners?

If you have new born or toddlers and you are struggling to have husband and wife time then try out these easy indoor date night ideas filled with love and fun even when your kids are around you.

1. Video games

If you have a beach area nearby then try to visit at least quarterly. Spend time with sand, sea, sun and your romantic husband and your kids. Don't forget to try out various activities at the beach. Like paragliding, boat races, banana boats and  making sand castles with kids.

17. Long Drive On a Bike 

This is my all time favourite. Long drive on bike with your spouse. You may have this long drive before marriage. Try to include this long drive on a monthly basis. Just you and your spouse can go on long drives, have tea at tapari and enjoy the breeze. Forget all household stress and just enjoy the long road with a gentle breeze and hold your spouse tightly.

18. Coffee Date 

Last but not the least. If your spouse loves to have a coffee then try to have a coffee date with a twist. Find out about the newly opened cafe and dare to try out a new place and new coffee. We always wanted to check out new places and variety of coffee.

Conclusion: 

Having a date night with a husband is a must to maintain harmony in your life. Our kids are watching us, observing us and learning. Creating a fun  and love-feel environment not only brings happiness but also uplifts our home vibes. A loving and laughing parent is the only kids need to see. We all had stress but I think this is the only way to deal with your tiny or biggest problem as a parent and as a husband and wife.
