If you like to stay home for the weekend and want to prepare a special time to enjoy quietly with your partner, some tips can help you get out of your routine and do something different.
These small attitudes can make the date more pleasant or even spicier, depending on what you want for the occasion. Here are some suggestions on how to do this!
1. Make dinner together
A recent study found that cooking together is one of the main things you can do to strengthen your relationship. And even if you're going to order ready-to-eat food, make a choice of starter or dessert together, spice up the dish with different ingredients, or take care of details together that make dinner at home an important celebration.
2. Create a playlist
The right mix for the night usually includes a mix of songs that are special to the couple and bring fun memories. List a few for each situation, whether it's dancing in the kitchen while preparing food, opening wine and toasting, eating and after dinner.
3. Wear a special outfit
It is not because you will be at home that you need to dress casually. Set aside the comfortable pieces and bet on a true evening look, as if you are going out to dinner. Production will make all the difference.

4. Leave your phones away
Hide the phones in another room or leave them unplugged both when cooking and serving dinner. Some studies have found that simply having a cell phone can decrease the quality of the conversation when you are with someone. Show that you are present and keep distractions out of your night.
5. Prepare good drinks
Instead of serving only wine, create something new. A different drink? or several? It can make the night even better. See beforehand which drinks and ingredients you will need, arrange everything and then just toast!
6. Do something other than watching TV
After dinner, resist the temptation to turn on the TV to watch a movie, series or show together. Just as it is useful to take a break from the phones, pursuing other non-TV activities is also important. Discovering new music, seeing vacation memories, talking about books are some suggestions.
In addition to these six tips, there are several other ways to make your night different and create unforgettable moments for two, even without having to leave home or spend a lot. Put creativity into practice and the results are sure to surprise!
