Prepare questions for one another, or google them and challenge each other to a quiz night with a big prize at the end! OR, make your own set of questions with nothing off-limit to ask your partner juicy questions.





4. Spa Night at home.


Relax, light some candles, put on some music, and make your own spa at home. Make your own skin and hair natural remedies with ingredients you can find in your kitchen cupboards and treat yourself and your partner to a spa day that doesn’t break the bank after a heavy work day.




5. Indoor Campout.
