Now that the weather is starting to heat up, it’s the perfect time to turn up the romance in your relationship. Take advantage of sun shining by enjoying nature, getting outside and giving your partner some extra love. Surprise your other half with one (or all!) of the following springtime ideas to up the passion in your union.
A Picnic in the Park
Grab a blanket, some snacks and a bottle of your favorite beverage so you can spend an afternoon outside. Enjoy the fresh air together by reading books, playing cards or just taking in the scenery around you.
A DIY Wildflower Bouquet
Forage your neighborhood, or even your own backyard, for flowers and greenery to create a thoughtful (and free!) arrangement for your beloved. Daisies, dandelions, rosemary and other plentiful plants can come together to create a thoughtful surprise gift.
A Garden
Instead of picking flowers, you could plant them. Show your love by getting your fingers in the dirt and let something special take root. A strawberry plant, a favorite flower or some herbs are all great options for indoor or outdoor gardens.
An Outdoor Concert
Check out opportunities in your area to hear music outside. Your city may have a great outdoor music venue, or local bands might play in nearby parks or café courtyards. Bonus points if you ask your other half to dance.
A Night at the Drive-In
Dinner and a movie is a standard date night option. Switch things up by going to your local drive-in, where you can see an anticipated flick but also enjoy a healthy dose of nostalgia. (And, of course, popcorn.)
A Morning Hike
If you and your partner are early risers, grab some coffee (and water!) to go and catch the sunrise on a local trail. Seeing the beauty of nature will inspire both gratitude and happiness. Plus, you’ll get the day’s workout checked off your list early. Grab a yummy brunch after as a reward.
A Home-Cooked Dinner Al Fresco
Make a romantic dinner for two and enjoy it right in your own backyard. Set up your outdoor table with place settings and candles and watch the sun set as you relish each other’s company without having to go anywhere.
A Bike Ride to a Special Destination
Pedal on down to a fun place, like a local brewery, ice cream shop or any other local spot you both love. Getting there on wheels will be a new experience outside of what you normally do, and the endorphins you get from your ride will leave you both feeling high on life for the rest of the day.
A New Pet
If your partner has been talking about wanting to get a furry friend, springtime is the best time to do so. Warmer weather means that you won’t have to go out in the cold to potty train a new pooch, and you can enjoy taking your pet out for walks without having to worry about chilly weather.
A Simple Walk
Even an arm-and-arm stroll around your neighborhood will win you relationship brownie points. If you’re the types who typically veg out on the couch once you’re home from work, shake things up by doing something different. Even just getting out of your routine will breathe new life into your bond.
