Yankee and I have Wednesday Date Night, usually to Starbucks for 1 hour without electronics. How do we survive? They (the cellphones) can go for a car ride for safety reasons but they are not allowed inside.
This works really well for us, we have been doing these little dates for about 5 years now. I'm trying not to think about all the $$$ Starbucks has made off us!
More importantly, by the time it is Wednesday, we are tired, disconnected and just running on empty. I always think just make it to Wednesday night and then the weekend is almost here.
We have had some life changing conversations on those Wednesday night dates. In Texas we would get our drinks to go and drive to the DFW airport observation area. Here in Tennessee we are still looking for a great quiet spot. The local Starbucks never seems to have the atmosphere we crave...there are always people talking on cell phones and screaming kids. We are going to check out a local place next week and hope to find something more our style.
Yes, we even had these dates in Korea. More often than not we had to make our own coffee but we did ride the bus to town a few times.
Find something that works for your relationship. Steal a few minutes away from the world and make it count.
