Let’s talk about love — not the dating apps and swiping kind — but the real, lasting, deep love that comes from dating the person you’re already married to. Yep, I said it… DATE your partner! In today’s episode, I’m sharing how to bring the spark back, make intentional time together, and why it matters now more than ever — especially when you’re balancing kids, careers, and chaos.”

💕 10 Top Tips for  Dating While in a Relationship

(Yes, even when you’ve got kids, work, and laundry piles staring at you)

1. Schedule It In 

 If it’s not in the calendar, it doesn’t happen. Literally block off a “date night” like it’s a non-negotiable meeting — even if it’s just a cosy film and snacks at home.

1. Mini Dates Matter 

 Don’t wait for a full child-free weekend. Grab 15 minutes for a morning coffee, a dog walk, or just chatting in the kitchen while the kids play.

1. Flirt Like You’re Still Dating 

 Send cheeky texts. Compliment them. Share inside jokes. Keep the spark alive with little moments, not just grand gestures.

1. No Phones Allowed 📵

 Create phone-free zones or hours. Even one evening a week where you both just talk can change the vibe completely

2. Surprise Each Other 

 It doesn’t have to be big — their fave chocolate, a post-it note with a compliment, or planning something unexpected. Thoughtfulness goes far.

3. Do Something New Together 

 Try a cooking class, new hobby, or even just a different walking route. New experiences = new memories = deeper connection

4. Dress Up – Even at Home 

 Put on perfume. Do your hair. Not for them, for YOU. Confidence is attractive, and it can shift the whole dynamic

5. Talk About More Than Kids & Work 

Conversations can easily become to-do lists. Ask questions you’d ask on a first date — “What’s something you want to do this year?” or “What did you dream of as a kid? 

6. Touch Matters 

 A kiss. A cuddle. Holding hands while watching TV. Physical connection is powerful, especially in the rush of parenting

7. Don’t Wait Until It’s “Bad” to Reconnect 

Date nights aren’t a repair strategy — they’re a maintenance plan. Keep watering the relationship, even when it’s doing well.
