If you want to stay happily married you need to continue to date your wife. You should always plan these, make arrangements for the sitter and let her relax and have fun. It will pay off handsomely in a more contented wife. You need to continue to make her feel pampered and cherished.
Go horse back riding then have a picnic in a canyon
Go on a late night hike to the top of a hill away from lights, bring a blanket and watch the stars.
Take a roll of pennies to a fountain and make wishes out loud as you throw them in.
Build a bonfire roast marshmallows (try roasting other things as well)
Get up extra early, watch the sunrise, then make breakfast together
Make life lists together
Have a candlelight chocolate making evening. Experiment with candy recipes. Everyone loves chocolate… become the chocolate giver
Write a letter, put it in an air-tight bottle and throw it into the ocean or a laker or even a river.
Ride a horse-drawn buggy
Go exploring with your date to find the coolest building in town. Then you can take a tour/ explore and have a picnic outside

These are some great date ideas to keep a relationship fresh and exciting, and of course spending loads of money isn’t a requirement for having a special time with your partner!
Hey Manda
Yes there are many young couples on a very limited budget so I felt that I should come up with
cheap but fun dates to help keep the romance alive during those tough times thanks for stopping by

Nice! Good lookin out, counselor!
Thanks so much for checking out my blog! Divorce is a horrible and painful experience– I’m very sad that my situation was my husband’s decision, and I didn’t have a choice:( To all you couples out there– Keep it up! No one gets out without kicking the bucket! 😉 Best wishes, Regina
Hey Regina
That is the thing that frustrates me the most in my practice when one partner won’t work with me to save the marriage.
It so happens I am very good at it and give an unheard of money back guarantee. It is the kids who suffer the most in
divorce and it is for that reason that I do what I do
Blessings on you and yours
John
