Thinking of fun date night ideas is so easy when you live in an awesome place like Frederick, Md.
My problem is carving out the time to really think of fun date night ideas and putting them on the schedule.
I’m so guilty of scheduling too much on our social calendar that we just don’t have time to go on a date night – or a date day for that matter.
So I decided to put together this list of fun date night ideas, not just for you but to remind me that there’s just no excuse not to plan it.
And why are date nights so important?
Well, here’s a great Huffington Post article on Date Nights: They Are More Important For Your Relationship Than You Think.
A date night “conveys to the couple that they are creating a unique and special space for one another.”
So, now that you know it’s important to plan it out, here is a great list of fun date night ideas that you can do together right here in Frederick!
