Questions people ask
What can couples do for date night at home?
Make dinner the event: cook a dish from a movie you love, do a blindfolded tasting with snacks from the store, or build your own spring rolls at the table. Changing one thing about a usual evening is often enough.
How do you make date night at home not feel like a regular night?
Set a start time, change clothes, and move somewhere other than the couch you always sit on. Phones away. Decide the plan ahead of time, so you're not still picking at 9 p.m.
Are all of these ideas at home?
Yes, every one of the 30 happens at home: some are dinners you cook together, others are things like a living-room dance party or a puzzle night. Swipe nope on anything that sounds like too much work; only the ideas you both say yes to show at the end.
