A date box is an excellent gift for any couple to help maintain a healthy, happy, and strong relationship.
It’s not just about what is written on the cards themselves, but about the time spent together and the memories made.
How often should we date?
That is up to you but obviously the more you time you set aside for date night them more it becomes part of your routine. There can be obstacles for weekly date nights; rotas, children and other commitments can get in the way of romance. Dating your partner should never be a chore, typically once a week or month is plenty, we have boxes with all kinds of options, but really it is up to you to decide.
That said, a weekly date box can still be completed every other week, or as and when time allows. The date boxes are not designed to be rigid, they are to provide the inspiration and prompt, it’s the couple that makes the time and the memories together.
