Make Date Night Healthy

By Rachel Shouse

It's important that couples make time for each other. I know it may be hard to do currently. It's hard to find a babysitter, find places that are open and safe, get time off work, etc. On top of all that, you may even have diet goals in mind. That can make finding a restaurant difficult or you may even try to steer clear of them altogether. In order to help with that, we're going to talk about how you can enjoy date night and eat healthy both at home and at restaurants. Also, it's wise to try to understand why this time with your significant other is so important. 

Eating Healthy at Home

There are great ways to spend quality time with your partner at home. One of those ways is to plan a meal and cook it together. A great way to start is by searching for a new recipe that you both enjoy. Fortunately, most couples have similar tastes in food.

After you find a meal and write a grocery list, it's time to shop. Doing this task together is a good way to add a little extra time to your date. Once the shopping is done and you get home, you can whip that meal up together. No need to be super fancy or spend a bunch of money. The point is to enjoy each other. 

Planning Before Going Out

Before you leave the house, make a plan. You could choose a few different places if you can't make up your mind. The important thing is to see what's on the menu. Whether you have food allergies or if you're on a diet, doing this step can help you set a healthy boundary. Don't be too strict either. Making it too difficult could have a negative effect on your date. 

What Quality Time Does for Couples

Spending time with your spouse may seem unnecessary. You may feel like you spend enough time together as it is. For others, it may feel like you don't have time. Regardless, understanding why this time is important can help make this more of a priority.

When you spend time with your significant other, you're reinforcing those bonds that you already have. When you're happy, your brain releases chemicals. These chemical reactions have a physical effect on your brain. There are so many ways you could make these times with your spouse fun.

  • Break out the board games
  • Recreate your first date
  • Plan a movie marathon

It may be hard to find the time for a date, money may be tight, sitters are few and far between, the list goes on. You can't let these bumps stop you from trying. The last thing you need during these difficult times is relationship problems, or worsening any possible current problems.
