Why Date Nights Are So Essential During The Planning Process

I love a good date night! How about you? Spending quality time together , as a couple, is so important in any relationship but, it really is something I recommend that you do during wedding planning.

Planning a wedding is a very emotionally charged event. It carries the weight of your’s and sometimes your family/friends dreams and expectations. There is a lot of pressure surrounding a wedding with timelines, extensive to-do lists, and DIY projects. That sounds exhausting, doesn’t it? It absolutely can be. And all that pressure, stress and weight can put a damper on you and your relationship.

Go see a movie together. Have dinner at your favorite restaurant. Take dance lessons or attend a painting class. But, it doesn’t even have to be anything elaborate or expensive. In fact, some of the best date nights can include binge watching your favorite shows on Netflix while you snuggle on the coach with popcorn. Or, work on your cooking skills at home by cooking a favorite dinner dish together. Go on a picnic to your favorite park and pack a yummy lunch, don’t forget the champagne. ;) You can even play some board games with your favorite drinks or go on a long walk or hike together. The most important thing to remember while on these dates is not to talk about wedding planning. That’s right. Not. At. All. Don’t even bring it up.

Spend this time together, no phones (if possible) reconnecting with each other. Think about all the things you love about each other and share them with each other. Look at each other in the eyes. Talk about good times together. Happy memories or making fun plans for your future together. Remember why you fell in love in the first place.

Remember that, your wedding is one special day and of course, you want it to be perfect. But, your marriage is for a lifetime and making sure that you are continuing to nurture your relationship through the hectic times will make for a stronger marriage and partnership. So, schedule date nights into your wedding planning process and schedule them often! Your relationship and your sanity will thank you for it one day!

Happy Planning! <3

Love,

Naticia
