Have a romantic movie marathon

Cook an unfamiliar meal together

Wouldn't it be nice to make something out from scratch with your loved one? Prepare an extraordinary recipe along with its ingredients and cook with your partner. Spice it up by decorating your dining room and presenting it with a printed menu like as if you're in a fancy restaurant.

Go for a long drive or a picnic date

If you and your partner are both nature lovers then grab your picnic essentials and head to the nearest park. You can also skip the hustle of city life by driving to the outback to explore the beauty of nature. To make it more romantic, plan a short hike and share a lovely meal under the tree. This would be a perfect time to recollect fun memories together.

Take a class together

Is there a skill you want to learn? Do it with your partner. Learning something new together such as painting, pottery, yoga or even a dance class can hone your skills and strengthen your relationship.
