Jake and I have been continuing our weekly date nights every Saturday during quarantine but after six weeks of movies + pizza, we decided we needed a change. It can be difficult to make time when all you have is time, but it’s so important to dedicate special time for your relationship. Don’t let quarantine take the romance away.

Inspired by @simonandpauli, a German couple who create weekly challenges for their relationship, Jake and I decided to make a weekly challenge for the last five weeks (we hope) of quarantine. We wrote a few ideas on pieces of paper, folded them up and placed them in a jar. We plan to draw an idea every week and complete it by the next week.

Here’s a few ideas if you want to join along (inspired by @simonandpauli):

• Have a painting night

• Cook a new recipe together

• Take an online class together

• Have a picnic (we have an apartment roof we plan to go to that not many people go to)

• Game night/video game night

• Yoga night/Workout challenge

• Upgrade your movie night with an indoor fort

• Rearrange your room

• Bible study

• Spa night at home

• Tie-dye at home

• Make homemade pizzas (make it competition style!)

Let me know if you plan on joining this challenge and tell me what you do!
