Whether you’ve been married one year or thirty, dating should never stop. Going on interesting dates is good for a marriage, it gives you something new to talk about, a chance to have fun together and grow sexually together.
Remember when you first met – all the excitement and fun?
When we first fall in love a chemical called dopamine is released in our brains, a feel good chemical. It has been observed that when you do thrilling and new things we get the same dopamine release, and if you do them with your partner, you will associate that fun with them.
When you go on interesting date nights as a couple you have fun with your spouse and you begin to think of them as fun.
Planning a fun date night isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Seriously, dinner and a movie is a great date idea but every now and then you need something a little more exciting.
Check out the list below for some coupled-up date ideas to spice things up.
1. Plan adrenaline rush activities.
Exciting situations will release endorphins and dopamine, these are present during sexual activity, and so try something new and exciting together outside the bedroom like; skydiving, sign up for a mud run or colour run, dare each other to go to a swingers’ party, rock climbing, go on a roller coaster, play strangers at a bar or better yet fulfil your bucket list.
2. Plan a surprise weekend away
Surprise your partner and take them to a nice winery for the weekend or book a romantic hotel getaway whether local or interstate. Want to be really spontaneous? Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere and stay for a weekend.
3. Go out to the latest Hip cocktail bar
Nearly every woman enjoys a night on the dance floor. Dancing is a very sensual activity and it will put her in the mood for more later.
Otherwise, find the sexiest, most discreet wine bar in town and make reservations. It’s a sultry way to spend an evening and the wine will ensure that her inhibitions will be gone by the time you get home.
4. Check out a theme party
Donning a costume with your spouse and attending a party full of similarly attired guests can get her feeling naughty. A little bit of role-playing in character and she’ll be up for wider experimentation at home. Encourage her to choose an outfit that shows off her sex appeal and her creativity. There are plenty of events on RHP – Events & Clubs section. Check for upcoming parties and events in your state.
5. Go to a Strip Club or Burlesque show
There no shortage of strip clubs and Burlesque shows in Australia, research what is near you. The atmosphere is playful and sexy. Your spouse might even want to do her own striptease for you when you get home.
6. Recreate a memorable date
Think of a favourite past date, something that means something special to you as a couple; where you first met, your first date together, where you professed your love or popped the question.
7. Stay sexy, flirty, and fun
Just because you are married doesn’t give you permission to sit around in your sweats every night eating pizza. Every now and then take a shower or a bath together. If you have a pool in your backyard go for a night swim. Send your partner a naughty text and the act it out later.
Date nights are pivotal to keeping any relationship exciting and maybe we all should go jot down some dates on our calendar.
