My marriage has been rocky for a while after 2 kids and 8 years of marriage. We have managed to sort things out and we definitely need to implement date night atleast once a month just to reconnect. I want to plan the first one as a suprise. I dont want to go to the cinemas or do anything that can be done at home. A few hours of something exciting somewhere that maybe has activities and helps us spend time together. Anywhere in Leeds, Bradford, Manchester or within an hour of Huddersfield... Thank You!

I like those places that do social darts games, axe throwing ect as it’s a nice social setting, you laugh, play and have a drink! It’s a great way to reconnect.
Do one date night a month out and one also at home with movie / massage / play a couples game with questions ect. I think one night in a month will only make a debt if you’ve been rocky. But lots can be done at home after dc are in bed!

@AnonAnonmystery Thank You, axe throwing sounds great! Once a month to begin with is good I think. He works very late hours so it can get difficult but love the ideas thankyou! I'll definitely keep in minding doing something at home so it makes it a fortnightly thing whether its at home or away.
