Date Night Ideas in Birmingham, Alabama

Date night. Those two words generally fill one with excitement, but they can also bring a little dread. Don’t get me wrong. Date night is great, but when you are married with children and juggling careers, the kids’ extracurricular activities, household chores, and the never-ending “to do” list, planning date night can seem like another chore.

It is important to not let negative feelings about the planning process deter you from making time for one another and ensuring your relationship is a priority.  It is easy to let time fly by and find yourself focused on things outside your relationship and forget to make time for one another. To help couples do that, I want to make planning date night a little easier by giving you a list of date night ideas in Birmingham, Alabama.


Remember date night doesn’t have to look a certain way! It doesn’t have to be costly and it doesn’t even have to happen at night! The most important thing is to find something you enjoy doing together. Try something new, revisit an old favorite, get outside, or stay inside, whatever you decide to do will benefit your relationship and allow you to connect and remember why you choose to do this life together!
