Sexy and Fun Date Ideas Made Easy (plus a giveaway!)
I am super excited to introduce you to a fun and innovative way to spice up your relationship. I actually gave Bethany a love coupon book from Datevitation for Christmas, and it was a total hit.
So, I asked the founder (Alex) to share a date idea here at Engaged Marriage – he not only did that in the video below but offered a great giveaway and discount to our community – details below!
A Starbucks Trick Guaranteed To Put A Smile On Your Spouse’s Face
Olga and I are so excited to be doing this guest post for the Engaged Marriage community. You see, our mission at Datevitation is much the same as Dustin’s stated goals for this site — that is, to provide tools and tips to help keep your marriage fun, exciting, and full of love and happiness.
We work to accomplish our mission in two ways. First, we’ve created the web’s first and only totally custom love coupon platform. With our user-friendly interface, you can choose to create an entire custom book (perfect for special occasions like anniversaries, birthdays, or holidays) or send individual love coupons electronically through email or Facebook.
20 Awesome Date Ideas – For Free!
When you finally get the chance to enjoy a date night, or even a little break together during the day, how often do you look at each other and say:
“What do you want to do?”
“I don’t know, what do YOU want to do?”
Silence.
I know that we struggle to keep things fresh, and we pretty much always end up going out for dinner and a few drinks. While that’s fun, there are so many other great things to enjoy together.
Well, I’m really happy to share a fantastic resource with you from my friend Matthew from Adventure-Some. You may know Matthew from some of his great guest posts on marriage and self-improvement.
It’s called “Ready-to-go-Dates: The Cure for Dinner and a Movie” and he’s sharing it for free right now! Just click here to head over and grab it.

The Joy of Sweat
How can getting physical be a memorable and enjoyable experience shared with your spouse?
Well yeah, there’s that, but I’m talking about something different this time. 
I’m talking about completing a fitness event together as husband and wife.
Sure, there are extreme examples like Andrew and Sue O’Brien who ran 8 marathons in 8 weeks in 8 different countries or husband and wife teams that complete a summit of Mt. Everest.
But you can experience the “joys of sweat” with your spouse close to home and with much less physical ability.
Crossing the Line
There’s no question that keeping yourself fit, healthy and happy has a direct impact on your marriage and family life. We’ve talked a lot in the past about the role of fitness in your marriage and what that means to the Engaged Marriage community.
Living an active lifestyle day-to-day is fantastic, and it sets a wonderful example for our children. It reduces stress, feeds our energy levels, builds our self-confidence and enhances that other physical activity that we enjoy with our spouse.
74 Simple Things You Can Do to Brighten Your Spouse’s Day
In a recent giveaway we had for Marriage Time newsletter subscribers (sign up here for free so you don’t miss the next one), I asked this question:
What is one simple thing I can do to brighten my spouse’s day today?
I received dozens of responses back, and I was really touched and impressed by some of the ideas. So, I filtered through all of the duplicates, and I would like to share these unedited responses for everyone to see.
Which of these simple acts can you use today to show some thoughtfulness toward your husband or wife?
- Simply tell her one thing that makes her special to me!
- I could surprise my husband by taking him to the Irish Festival this afternoon.
- Texting him at work and keeping him from getting bored in the minutiae of the day.
- Declutter the bedroom
- Take the kids to the park while they are on Spring Break and let her have a nap.
- Tell her how much I’m glad I married her (married 20 years).
- I could have the house clean and dinner ready when he comes home after his long day at work

When was the last time you played?
If you have children, you probably spend some playtime with them most days. You might play golf with your friends or play Angry Birds on your iPhone. If you’re lucky, maybe you have occasional game nights with other couples where you can keep your Trivial Pursuit or Scene It! skills sharp.
But how often do you spend “playtime” with your husband or do something with your wife just because it’s fun?
Today’s Lesson
Life is so busy that we can start to push the time for play out of our closest relationship. Playtime with the kids is mandatory and recreational time with our friends is usually retained. However, when it comes to our spouse, it is so easy to lose the simple, pure time for fun together in favor of “more important” duties.
