It’s summer time! And what a strange summer it’s been so far…
Look, we ALL need some fun, de-stressing dates with our spouse this summer. Talk to your spouse and pick a day of the week to be your “date day” and then make it happen! Even if you don’t have a sitter, some of these can all be done from the comfort of your home. The rest are social-distancing approved.
Also, if you want more stay-at-home date ideas, I’ve got a whole year’s worth of ideas right here.
Don’t forget to sign up to receive the at-home date game: Truth or Date. It’s a ton of fun and all you need is some paper, a printer and your spouse.
The great thing about this list is that most – if not all – of these ideas can be done as activities with your kiddos! So if you’re looking for something to do during these hot summer days as a family, look no further.
Happy dating!

I love these summer date night ideas!! They’re each fun, but doable in our current circumstances. My husband and I have always been terrible about scheduling regular date nights, but they are so very needed! Thank you for such a great list, Tiffany!
Thanks, Tabatha! It’s so true – we need them so badly!! It’s hard to make them happen but every time we have a date, we both come back so refreshed and renewed for whatever’s ahead.
