Why having a date night is still important — even during a pandemic - Business Insider

melissa.petro/InstagramWhile the family has been quarantining at home, Petro and her husband have started having a weekly date night to prioritize more quality time together.

To be honest, date night has never really been my thing, even before this decidedly unsexy coronavirus situation. When I'd get a text mid afternoon from Arran suggesting we go out for dinner that evening, I was typically full of excuses. On the rare occasion, I'd agree. I'd reluctantly throw whatever I'd planned to cook back in the fridge, wash my hair, and slap on a little makeup. After the sitter showed up, my husband and I would slip off to a restaurant for an hour or two.

The study was conducted by the Marriage Foundation, and analyzed data on 9,969 couples in the Millennium Cohort Study. Researchers compared how often the couples went out together when their child was nine months old with whether they were still together when their child was aged eleven. The more frequently you make time for each other, the better the outcome.The team assumed, like many of us might, that the more frequently a couple went out, the better the outcome.

Our following week was more successful. While Arran put both kids to sleep, I turned our bathroom into a "spa." I dimmed the lights, lit some candles, and filled the tub with fragrant bubbles. Instead of falling asleep ten minutes intothat night my husband and I shared a warm bath, massaged a homemade scrub into one another's hands, and actually talked. A "date" can be a fancy dinner at home.Feed the kids macaroni and cheese and order yourselves takeout.
