Dating is salient for forging and maintaining a healthy relationship in the long run. If couples let monotony seep in between them, the romance starts to wane. No matter if you are married or unmarried, dating gives a sinewy strength and enticement to your bond.
National Marriage Project, a US-based research project, concluded in a study that couples who go on diurnal dates report greater marital satisfaction as compared to couples who skip going on dates. Dating is the stepping stone to a long-term relationship. Healthy dating involves a stable relationship that is erected on love and passion, along with safety, trust, and commitment.
When couples go on frequent dates, they get to:
Dating should be a circadian practice. Every season has its own charm, and date ideas can be innovated according to seasonal changes.
Work-life balance is important for a healthy relationship. Couples who include “quality time crafting” in their life have a more satisfactory work-life balance. Plain dates become prosaic, and that is where creative imagination comes to the rescue.
Creativity works like rain in a desert. Some people are more adept at planning visionary and exciting dates than others. Planning creative date nights sparks excitement and thrill.
