Day Nine

Go on a little movie date, you deserve it. Those Oscar nominated films are still showing and at least one is calling your name! 

Make a night of it and really enjoy being with one another. Can't make it out of the house because of kids or working late? Have an in home movie night complete with popcorn and your own couch.

Bianca and Dave

Bianca and Dave have been together for eight amazing years. These cuties met on OKCupid (before it was an app) and hit it off on their fast date at a coffee shop where they talked for hours.  

Bianca and Dave love the movies and go frequently as a way to spend time together both doing something they love. 

For more from Bianca check out her blog and Instagram. 

Day Eight

Look through old photos and notes together tonight. We know you've got them, dig those babies up! 

Use this time to remind one another how much you love them. See how far you've come as a couple, even if you have only been together a short time. Bonus points to whoever posted your first Instagram (or was it MySpace back then?) photo together! 

Brandy and Mike

Brandy and Mike have been together since high school, so their photo album was full of prom photos and other snapshots of growing up together. They chose this challenge because they value the importance of knowing how much you've grown together as a couple.

They loved going through every photo and we loved watching these high school sweethearts still so in love! 

For more from Brandy, find her on Instagram. 

Day Seven

Get some fresh air with your boo and go for a walk! 

Take a small break from life around you and go on a walk with your partner. Stroll through your neighborhood, or even find a spot to take a small hike, either way enjoy being with each other and take this time to intentionally enjoy being with one another without an agenda. 

Natalie and Brandon

Every morning Natalie and Brandon start their day with intention by taking their sweet pup, Mimi, for a walk. This not only kickstarts their day, but does so with a purpose and kickstarting the day together as a team.

Day Six

Cook dinner together tonight! Pick out a new recipe, something you wouldn't normally prepare and take the kitchen by storm as a the ultimate dream team.

Play some tunes, don't be afraid to dance a little while you chop those veggies or saute some onions. Value your time in the kitchen together!

Dani and Jordan

We love Dani and Jordan (how could you not)? Cooking together can be seen as a chore, but Dani and Jordan take advantage of the time together and make preparing dinner a team effort. They say a way to a person’s heart is through their stomach! 

These two had a fabulous time in the kitchen sharing laughs and delicious food.

Day Five

Today, tell your partner three reasons you are grateful for them. Write them down, tell them over coffee this morning or over dinner tonight.

Be genuine and make sure your boo knows how thankful you are for them!  

Pat and Sel

Pat and Sel are so in love which makes us so in love with them! They are the couple we all strive to be when we talk about growing old with the person we love. 

Day Four

Spend some time today asking your spouse questions. Ask them about their most embarrassing moment or their favorite thing to do with you.

Take this time to check in and set an intention of loving your bae a little extra in the coming week. Put away that phone, turn off Netflix and really settle in with your partner.

Sarah and Ben

Sarah and Ben check in with one another every Sunday. They answer the same questions every week and purposely set the time aside for one another. We love this about them and love how in sync they are with one another!

Here's what they ask each other each week.

1. What brought you joy this week?

2. What is something that was hard this week?

3. What's one specific thing I can do for you this week?

4. How can I pray for you this week?

5. Is there anything that's gone unsaid, convictions, confessions, unresolved hurt

6. What's a dream, desire or thought that has been on the forefront of your mind this week? 

They always end in prayers and once a month ask: How are we stewarding our finances?

Day Three

Turn up the tunes and have a dance party in your kitchen! Seriously, let loose and just enjoy being together. 

If you're feeling really brave, play your favorite tune from high school and sing every word. 

Beth and Eli

These two REALLY love to dance. It's an every day thing in their household to come home and cut loose. Watch the video and see the joy all over their faces. 

Day Two

Stay in and challenge your partner to a game night.

Light candles, hang twinkle lights, pour a glass of wine and settle in for the night. Dust off that old Scrabble board and challenge your love to a game.

Mallory & Jacob

Mallory and Jacob planned a game night in to spend some much needed time together. Snuggle up with your partner and have your own.
