Ready to fall-in-love with each other all over again? Here are 10 of my best fall date ideas for you and your spouse!
It is really important to spend time with your spouse. Yes, life gets busy and distractions happen so here is my best list for some important time together.
Go out for a pumpkin spice latte
Might as well start with this one, right? Okay, so I don’t know if I could talk him into a pumpkin spice latte, but I’m confident I could convince him to grab me one. And that I could count on him to get his usual 16 oz. Americano and that he would be satisfied with watching me enjoy mine. So that works for me (and him)!
Plan a perfect picnic for two
This one’s easy if you ask me. All you have to do is pack a few yummy sandwiches or maybe pour some hot soup in a thermos, and voila! you’ve got a picnic. Grab an old blanket or look for a picnic table; you’re good to go!
Get a big bonfire going
Build a hot fire on a chilly autumn night, and you instantly have a romantic evening! Pull up a couple of old camp chairs, throw a warm, wooly blanket around you both and grow dreamy in the dancing flames.
Go see a football game together.
I don’t even like football all that much, but there’s something about fall and football that seem to go together—especially if you or your husband is a sports fan!
Roast s’mores together
We have a small fire pit on our patio, but you can try your fireplace or even the stovetop if it comes down to it. You can even get creative and try something other than the traditional s’mores. Click Here to try some other S’more ideas.
Fall is a great time to try a new hike
So lace up your hiking boots and head out on an adventure together! Pack a few snacks, some water, and a layering jacket, and you’re set to go.
Pop new flavors of popcorn
I don’t know about you guys, but we are big fans of popcorn over here. All kinds of popcorn! In addition to the traditional butter-and-salt variety, we’ve tried coconut (substituting coconut oil for butter), cinnamon & sugar, Jello popcorn, Rice-Crispie popcorn (melted marshmallow), and caramel popcorn. Caution: once you get going, you might find this surprisingly addictive!
Curl up and watch an old movie together after the kids are in bed
Okay, confession time: More than occasionally, he and I turn in early, snuggle up in our bed, and watch a movie together. Probably not overly mature or creative, but sometimes it’s nice just to veg out and enjoy an old-fashioned romance or comedy. And hey, you can enjoy some of that yummy popcorn.
Dessert Fondue
Make either caramel or chocolate dessert fondue. Here are some goodies that would be fun to dip: tart apple slices, chocolate squares, popcorn, peanuts, pretzels, etc. Wowza! Decadent.
Take a fall foliage drive
We are lucky to live near the mountains and it is one of my all-time favorite things. So fill up the gas tank (ouch!), grab that pumpkin spice latte, and get ready to see God’s glorious creation on display!
So those are 10 of my best fall date ideas for you. And a happy fall, falling in love all over again!
