When was your last date?

Perhaps there was a time in your relationship when dating came easily. The ideas flowed, blocking out time was almost effortless, anticipation kept you awake at night, and the days before a scheduled date seemed to pass by slowly. Now... 5, 10, 15+ years into your relationship, perhaps dating feels stale, laborious, and maybe even non-existent.

Inject some new energy into dating your loved one!

1. Take off the pressure. Dates don't have to be time consuming, expensive, and momentous. It's about spending intentional time with your partner.

2. Recalibrate your expectations. Likely you've changed and your partner has changed. What does your relationship need now? Consider activities that will enable you to discover each other again, have fun and laugh, relax, or just be together.

3. Try something new with your partner. Here are 52 ideas, one for each week of the year.
