Date Night (Day)

Date nights (days) are so important to your marriage. That time with just the 2 of you. No kids, no cell phones, no TV, no distractions. But it doesn't have to break the budget and the hard work you have been putting in to pay off debt or save money for a down payment. 

Here are some ideas for no cost or low cost dates:

• Road trip - Take a day to go somewhere local you have never been or go to one of your favorite places. Take selfies for a memory of the day. Pack a lunch. 
• Game night - Play cards or even video games. Bring your sense of humor, no sore losers.
• Visit a museum - Some cities have a free day every week. Check out new exhibits. Go to the park before or after with your packed lunch or dinner. Our local museum is next to a park with a carousel. Fun!
• Take a hike - There are so many free trails. Bring a snack or lunch. Sit under a tree. Take pictures. 

Be sure to be open to communicate your dreams and goals for the future. Be specific. Paint a picture of what you are dreaming of. Bring paper and pencils to write down the goals and dreams each of you have. Develop your date pictures and put them in a dreams/goals scrapbooks with a copy of your written goals. Keep them in front of you to stay inspired to keep going.

You can master your money... and I can help!
