Seven Reasons Date Night Is So Important After Kids

by Jenn

Whether you have been with your spouse for a month or ten years, date nights are something the two of you should regularly enjoy.  Date night is essential to maintaining a healthy relationship, in my opinion, and yes, at home, date night is okay after the kids go to bed now and then, but I suggest getting a babysitter and going out for the evening.

Reasons Date Night Is So Important After Kids

Date night gives you both a chance to get away from your everyday lives and focus on one another. Lucky for us, there is an app called ParentsPal that makes date nights easier than ever before.  Before we talk about this awesome new app you can grab for iOS and Android, let’s talk about why date night is so important!

Seven Reasons Date Night Is Important After Kids

Here are a few of the many reasons date night is important for your relationship:

  • Commitment: It’s nice for both of you to know the other is committed to making date night happen and not just tossing it on the back burner.  It should be important to both of you, and you should both be committed to making your date night happen.
  • A break from the everyday routine: It does a body good to get away from their routine every now and then.  It’s sort of like hitting the reset button.
  • Romance: Don’t let the romance go!  Date nights are important because they get you out of the house away from everything that reminds you of your daily life and allow you to focus on one another, why you love each other, and connect in ways you can’t stay at home.  You can concentrate on each other.
  • Being away from the kids is a good thing. It’s good for the kids to see you both go out for an evening of fun.  They want mom and dad to be happy, and it’s also great for them to see the two of you actively keeping your relationship alive. Maybe it will help them in their later years when they decide to settle down.
  • Communication without little ears: OMG, you can talk without worrying about those little ears hearing.  One of my kids is so nosey.  Seriously, one time she put a cell phone on record between my sister-in-law and me so she could find out what we were saying.  Yes, I kid you not, those darn kids can be sneaky.
  • Get dressed up! It just feels good to get all dressed up, and it is not for work!
  • Date nights can strengthen your relationship. Date nights do good things for relationships because it takes a commitment from both of you to keep those dates coming, and they give you the chance to get away, connect, and enjoy each other’s company.

To make date nights for parents easier, you can download the ParentsPal app!  OMG, it is awesome, and the designer, Tony, understands how important date nights are to maintaining a good relationship.

I should probably suggest we save 1 day for ourselves every week. Work is just so consuming when one has big goals. Relationship easily become off the topic of life.

I am about to have my first child and me and my fiance have a wonderful relationship. I have been so worried that our child will effect our great relationship but this post makes me feel a lot better about it. As long as we work hard and make time for each other we will be fine. =]]
