VALENTINE DATE IDEAS FOR MARRIED COUPLES

#1 Start the Morning Right

There is no better way to wake up in the morning than with your love by your side. You can start your V-day celebration by making him breakfast in bed.

This will brighten up the mood for the rest of the day. Whether both of you are taking the day off or working all day, both of you will be in a happy mood if you start the morning right.

#2 Go for a Walk/Hike

If you guys are off of work on V-day and both of you love the outdoors, it will be a good idea to plan to go for a hike together and enjoy the outdoors.

This will not only give you and your partner time to enjoy each other but also it will contribute to your physical health.

#3 Give Each Other Massages

This will be perfect after a long day’s work so gather up your favorite lotion or oil and give your partner a romantic massage. Work on those tight and tired muscles.

#4 Cook a Romantic Valentine’s Day Dinner

Instead of spending over $100 for a fancy dinner at a restaurant, take half of that amount to the grocery store to buy all your ingredients for a fancy dinner at home. For sure, you will still have leftover money to pick up a bottle of wine.

#5 Indoor Picnic

When it is too cold to be outside, it’s still shouldn’t be an excuse not to enjoy Vday. It will be the best time to fire up the fireplace, lay down the blanket and have a picnic. How about some s’mores?

#6 Go Stargazing

What would be more romantic than lying down somewhere under the sky with your partner and gazing at the stars? Better yet, making a wish on a shooting star.

#7 Game Night

If both of you love games, why not pick up a board game which is new to both of you or a new video game. It will be more fun since both of you will be figuring out the game together.

#8 Bake Something Together

If you are into baking, plan on baking a cake/cookie that you and your partner like. You will then bake the cake/cookie together.

#9 Outdoor Movie

Gather up a cozy blanket and a bag of popcorn then head out to an outdoor movie theatre. You can cuddle up with your partner, enjoy a movie and breath fresh air.

#10 Have a Movie Marathon at Home

If it is too cold to be outside, have a movie marathon at home. Fire up your Netflix, grab a bag of popcorn and cuddle up with a partner on the couch.

Or, you can grab your laptop and blanket and head out to your backyard. Fire up your outdoor fireplace and have a movie marathon.

#11 Watch the Sunset Together

This will be perfect after a walk or a hike. I don’t know about you but for me, there is always something romantic about watching the sunset.

#12 Recreate Your First Date

Going down memory lane will stir up happy thoughts. Spend the evening remembering how your first date was, what you guys were wearing, what you ordered, what you talked about, etc.

#13 End the Night Right

No matter what you did to spend Valentine’s day, always make sure to end the night right. You can do this by telling your partner how much you love him/her and how much you appreciate him/her.

You can even write your partner a love letter and have him/her read it before you go to bed.

There you have it! Those are some Valentine date ideas for married couples that you can do as well.

Celebrating Valentine’s day when you are on a budget does not make your love any less. It’s the thought that counts.

Valentine’s Day is all about showing your love and appreciation to your loved ones. Although we should always show our love and appreciation every day, it is on Valentine’s Day that we get a chance to make them feel more special.

Do not forget to add Valentine’s day budget to your monthly budget.
