5 Ways To Plan For Your Marriage—Not Just Your Wedding

Plan Date Nights
When you get married and are together almost every hour of every day, you forget about dates. Dates are a great way to spend intentional time together. Sure it’s nice at night to sit next to each other and read, or watch a movie, but setting aside quality time is important. It’s fun to plan cute ideas for dates you can go on, and restaurants you want to try out. Write a summer bucket list, and include things like going on weekend road trips, making watermelon sorbet (this in on my list) and going on bike rides! This is also a great way to explore your city if you’ve just moved somewhere new together. Overall, planning fun date ideas will help make it a priority in your relationship even after you’ve tied the knot.

When you’re wedding planning, it’s easy to pour your time and energy into planning the actual wedding day itself, but don’t forget about everything that comes after “I do!”
