My unsolicited advice on date night.
The goal of date night is to have the couple concentrate on each other without distractions.
This requires paying attention to each other without phones, children, etc Relaxing together, talking about the day, discussing office politics, etc.
If both want to do this it can often be accomplished without an actual date.
If you have no children or only small children, sit with each other after the kids are sleeping. Maybe have supper or tea together each night after the kids are in bed. Make it a point to have this alone time together.
If your children are older, being alone can be more of a challenge. Some people can make supper off limits to kids but then you’re losing out on valuable ‘chat with the kids’ time. Some people can sit alone in the living room or bedroom for half an hour without it being too much of an abandonment of the family. Or sit outside or take a walk. But sometimes that can’t work regularly. So with medium age children, going ‘out’ may be the only way to do this regularly.
But when the oldest children get older, there’s often a time each evening when the young ones are asleep and the older ones are self-occupied. That’s when you can schedule your walk together or your respite in the bedroom or living room,.
The main thing is to ‘hang out’ with each other and stay connected.
