Are you getting tired of the same 'ol date night? Yes, yes, we know your schedule is a little but tight, especially if you have kids. But you've heard this before: setting aside couple time strengthens your relationship. So, forget dinner and a movie, and take your date nights to a whole new level. Even long-term couples can use a break from routine dates. Try these unique, exciting, and fun activities:

1. Conquer a mountain together.
It's going to be tiring, but it’s also fulfilling. Just imagine the beautiful landscape you and your beau can appreciate together. 

2. Go on a double date with an older couple.
And maybe learn a thing or two!

3. Experience a hot air balloon ride.

Although it can be scary, it’s the perfect chance to conquer your fear of heights.
