I think most of us are at the moment feeling the pinch of the credit crunch. At times like these the first thing that goes out the window for parents are nights out. We see them as luxury items and way down on our list of priorities. Sometimes even when you do get out you find it difficult to enjoy it as you are so aware how much it is costing you. I do believe it is very important for couple to continue having nights out together as it reminds you of why you fell in love with one another in the first place and gives you a chance to be you again and not just mum and dad. You can however try substituting some of the nights you used to go out with a night in:
>Get someone to babysit the kids at their house
>Arrange a time for your night to begin and both go and get dressed up as you would for a night out
>Cook a meal in or get a take-away - splash out a little on a nice bottle of wine
>Sit around the table and catch up with one another’s news - play some music to keep the night upbeat
>Then you can watch a movie, do a bit of dancing, whatever takes your fancy
>Remember you are young and free tonight and you can stay up late and have a lie in tomorrow morning
This is a great way to get that together and in love feeling without having to spend a fortune. I think these kind of nights are a must if you want to keep your relationship alive
