Thank you to AIKO Brands for partnering with me on this blog post and keep scrolling to read the best questions for date night at home!
As a mom, our days are likely filled with the beautiful chaos of parenting — juggling schedules, managing household chores, and making sure everyone is fed and happy. In the midst of this whirlwind, it’s easy to lose sight of one of the most important relationships in your life: your marriage. Amidst the hustle and bustle, carving out time for date nights with your husband might seem like a luxury that you can’t afford, but in reality, it’s a necessity for a healthy, thriving relationship.
One of mine and Eric’s favorite ways to “date night” when we are trying to save money and don’t want to spend on a dinner out, a babysitter, and/or don’t have time to leave the home, is a date night at home! Date nights aren’t just about dressing up and going out; they’re about reconnecting with your partner on a deeper level and putting aside the distractions of daily life.
We recently picked up a bottle of the Tree of Life Semi Sweet Wine, which is a red wine made from 100% pomegranate juice perfect for an at-home date night! This wine is imported by AIKO Brands and is made from a new pomegranate variety, using traditional techniques that preserves its fruity taste. The pomegranate fruit is harvested when fully ripe, producing a deeply flavored, soft, and harmonious wine. The resulting flavor is supple, tart, fruity, and fresh — perfect for spring and summer. The abv is 12%.
The wine was great at room temperature and on AIKO Brands website, they recommend pairing with ripe soft cheeses, chicken dishes, and chocolate. We paired with our favorite grilled chicken spring salad. The semi-sweet wine would also be perfect in a sangria or punch mix! You can follow AIKO Brands HERE on Instagram for more yummy adult beverage recommendations! If you’d like to pick up a bottle of Tree of Life Semi Sweet Wine for your next date night at home, you can find it at Total Wine & More, Publix, Whole Foods, and Sprouts.
My favorite part about this wine is that it’s health-conscious! With only 75 calories per glass, this is truly the best option for finding balance with enjoying a nice glass of wine without derailing your goals!
Now that we have chatted about the importance of date nights and the best bottle of wine to pop for your next at home date night: What do you talk about on these nights?
In the marriage corner on the Healthy By Heather Brown podcast, you hear Eric asking me all kinds of crazy, unique questions! I’m excited to share a list of a few questions for date night that you can pull out the next time you’re one-on-one with your spouse!
Here are some unique questions to ask on your next date night to ignite meaningful conversations:
- If you could travel anywhere in the world together, where would you go and why?
- What’s one thing you’ve always wanted to learn or try, and how can we make it happen together?
- If we were characters in a book or movie, which ones do you think we’d be and why?
- What’s your favorite memory of us as a couple, and how can we recreate that feeling?
- If we could rewind time and relive one day of our relationship, which day would you choose and why?
- What are your hopes and dreams for our future together?
- If you had a whole day to yourself, how would you spend it?
Remember, the goal of date nights isn’t just to go through the motions but to genuinely connect with your partner and create lasting memories. So, whether you’re planning an elaborate night out or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home with a glass of wine, prioritize this time together and watch as your relationship blossoms amidst the chaos of parenthood.
