When it comes to date night, we have strong feelings.
As in, get a great babysitter early on in your kids’ lives.
It is literally the bee’s knees.
It pays off in huge dividends for the investment you make into your connection with your spouse.
The more you pour into your relationship, the stronger your marriage will become.
And as February 14th is right around the corner, here are a few out-of-the-box date night ideas to woo your valentine.
Breaking out of the dinner date night rut
Who’s up for mixing it up and trying something new? While going out to dinner can be great, here are a few more creative ideas for date night.
If you live in the Lakeshore area or fancy a drive to historic Holland, try Galleria. It’s a bar and gallery combo meant to enjoy the arts in many forms. Make a reservation for the chef’s table and get an up close and personalized meal that’ll spark the senses. Or, grab a happy hour drink and browse the art from creators that work on site. However you experience the space, it’ll be something like you’ve never tried before.
Another crazy idea in Grand Rapids is the Fowling Warehouse. No, that’s not a typo. It’s football + bowling combined into one entertaining space. You can make a reservation for a lane or show up for open play. Check their hours beforehand to make sure you can get in when you want.
Are you a #HamFan? If you know, you know. Broadway Grand Rapids is presenting Hamilton at the DeVos Performance Hall downtown Grand Rapids from February 8-20. Surprise your spouse with these tickets and you’ll earn major brownie points!
Or, experience the magic of a luminary-lit winter stroll this weekend! Hosted by Friends of GR Parks, the Happy Hearts Luminary Walks will take place Feb. 11-13 at Huff Park (Friday), Ken-O-Sha Trailhead (Saturday), and Garfield Park Nature Preserve (Sunday). 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM. This is a free event.
Listen, marriage is really hard. It’s not something you can only attend to when you want … like a cactus. You have to invest the time and effort every single day to make it thrive.
At Craftology, we’re all about creating meaningful relationships. We hope you find some fun new date ideas to spice it up.
