Today’s tip: How to Have Date Nights in Quarantine

You may be wondering how to continue growing your closest relationship while social distancing.

Each week, Gail and I have a date night on Thursday nights. With restaurant closures, we aren’t able to go out at this point. However, we’re still spending quality, intentional time together.

Here’s what we’re doing for date night now:

• Getting food from a local restaurant instead of cooking at home.
• Still trying to make it special by eating somewhere other than the kitchen table, like outside since it’s been so beautiful here in Nashville.
• Turning off any distractions like TV or computers.
• Focusing on each other by asking our date night questions with a few additional questions right now . . .

Here are the additional questions we’re asking each other during this time:

• What part of this isolation has been the most challenging for you? What has been the surprise gift in it?
• What things are you learning now that you think you’ll keep doing after this is over?
• What do you need most from me right now?
