Date Night Consistency

How to complete Date Night Consistency

Twelve straight weeks of protected time together turns 'we should hang out more' into a real habit. Consistency, not extravagance, is the achievement; a cheap weekly ritual you never skip beats occasional grand gestures.

1. Pick a fixed day and time and put it in both calendars as a recurring block
2. Agree on a no-cancel rule with a single allowed reschedule, not a skip, per emergency
3. Take turns planning so neither person carries all the effort
4. Keep a running list of ideas so you never burn a night deciding what to do
5. Default to a backup at-home plan for weeks when energy or money is low

Tips

• Phones away or in another room; presence is the whole point
• Cheap and reliable beats expensive and rare, so don't set a bar you can't sustain 12 weeks
• Note each date so week 12 you can look back at the streak

What counts as done

Twelve consecutive weeks logged, each with real one-on-one time you both showed up for.
