Reflection

How are you feeling at the end of Date Night month? Would you like to make Date Night a regular habit? Write about your new Date Night goals: how often you’d like to go out or have a special night in, challenges you’ll need to work through, ways to have more fun with loved ones. Highlight what went well this month. Write down how or if your feelings toward your date(s) have changed or shifted.

We worked on connecting during this month’s Date Nights…now we’re going to strengthen that connection through communication during the month of May. May is all about non-verbal communication and verbal communication using two simple strategies: making more eye contact and asking questions. Check back tomorrow for the start of May’s journal prompts!

THANK YOU

At the end of each month, there will most likely be a bonus day or two. The first one will always, always be a Thank You Day. Text your date(s) or write them a special note letting them know you appreciated the date. Text the sitter or friend who watched the kids and express your gratitude. A simple thank you can go a long way.

Movie Review

This day is super fun! As this week’s reflection, write a movie review together with your date! Give it stars or tomatoes. Include favorite parts, funniest parts, favorite characters, etc.

Distractions

Let’s look at distractions again. Did any new ones creep up during the month? Write about them. Are there some you’d like to try and cut out? Some that surprised you? Distractions interfere with our connections. Thinking and writing about them is a great first step to doing something about them—time to put our relationships first.

Get out of town

Movie week aside, make a list of Mini Road Trip ideas! Is there a destination near you you’d like to road trip to? Write down some possibilities, start writing down and researching how to make it a possibility. Day trips can be affordable and exhilarating.

Brainstorm Day

Make movie lists with family and friends of movies you’d like to take time to see. Include genres.

Question of the Day

What’s your favorite movie? What’s your partner’s favorite movie? Your kids’? Your best friend’s? Your mom’s? Curiosity can be an expression of love—a lot of people like to be asked questions about themselves. Make the question of the day “What’s Your Favorite Movie?” Write down the various answers you get throughout the day.

Distractions

When was the last time you watched a movie without checking your phone? Try to let go of a big, common distraction—our phones—and focus on quieting our distracted minds long enough to enjoy a movie start to finish and the company of our date(s).

Detail Day

Pick a date, time, & show. Write down the supplies you’ll need: popcorn, wine, sparkling water, etc. Choose who: family date night or romantic date? Double date even? Schedule a sitter if needed.

April Week 4: Movie Night!

This week’s date can be a movie out or a special Movie Night in. (Movie Night in can look special and not just a regular flop in front of the tv kind on any given Tuesday kind of night. Make it special—pick the movie ahead of time).
