Any chocolate lovers out there? I personally love any reason that allows me to indulge in my chocolate addiction!
There may be some weeks that date night seems virtually impossible and time seems to be granted to everything except for you and your spouse. These weeks are hard and often associated with stress, but if you are willing to find the time, it will present itself. This is a date night for one of those crazy weeks where it seems like nothing will go right and time is against you!
If you don't have a fondue fountain, don't worry, that just makes it fancy and a little harder to clean up, a bowl will work just fine :) For this date night, all it takes is a simple quick trip to the store for some melting chocolate in the flavor that you desire, and some little snacks for the dipping! Once you have all of this ready, it takes almost no time to melt the chocolate, prep the snacks, and be on your way to a relaxing, chocolate-dipping filled night!
Don't Forget To Reconnect!
One of my favorite things to do when I get some downtime with my spouse it to just talk and see where the conversation leads us, and this date night provides the opportune time to do that. Get the fondue all melted and ready and start snacking together, and then just start talking, either about your week or something that happened that day. Just get the juices flowing and see where the conversation leads. I have found that it is times like these that we come back to evaluating our goals and where we see ourselves now and later and how to get there. It can be very rewarding to just talk and listen to our spouse, to help them feel appreciated especially when things seem like they won't slow down and wait for us!
P.S. ..... If you need some ideas of what to dip into the chocolate, here are some of my favorites!
- Marshmallows
- Potato chips
- Fruit (strawberries, bananas, blueberries, apples, grapes, melons, etc.)
- Rice krispie treats or some variation of cookie
- Candy pieces
Don't worry about the calories, worry about the connection! :)
