Need an idea for a special occasion or want to show your spouse you love them? Consider giving them a night of romance. I’ll give you some ideas of how you can plan a romantic date night to remember.
What husband or wife doesn’t love a night where you spend your time and attention meeting their needs? With a little forethought, you can create a night full of connection, romance, and intimacy.
Key Takeaways:
- Build anticipation: Creating excitement beforehand can enhance the experience. A simple text or a subtle hint can be effective.
- Plan the evening: Consider factors like time constraints, childcare, and desired activities. A well-thought-out plan can help ensure a smooth and enjoyable night.
- Set the mood: Use lighting, music, and décor to create a romantic atmosphere. A clean and inviting space can contribute to the overall experience.
- Be flexible and spontaneous: While planning is important, don’t be afraid to deviate from the plan if the moment calls for it. The most important thing is to enjoy each other’s company and connect on a deeper level.
Build Anticipation For The Night Of Sexual Intimacy
Start ahead of time by telling your spouse about the evening you have planned for them. It is up to you how much time you give. If it is a little last minute, then a few hours’ notice would work as well. If you have more time than that, give them a day or two notice.
Building anticipation of an exciting night of romance can help you both enjoy it more. Think of the excitement you feel when you plan for a trip or outing. You spend a lot of time thinking about everything you will do. It makes the experience that much greater. It is no different when you are planning for a night of sexual intimacy.

Tell Them About The Night You Have Planned
It is time to figure out how you plan to tell your partner what you have in store for them. Leaving lingerie somewhere they will find it can send a powerful message.
Send a text the day of and tell them you have a surprise for later on that night. You don’t have to go into detail. Leaving it up to their imagination can be a great way to build anticipation.
Make a Plan For the Evening
Take the time to come up with a plan for the evening. If you feel you need a sitter, then go ahead and arrange that. Overnight sitters can be hard to come by, so if that is the case, make plans for when they are tucked in bed.
Decide how much time you have to spend with each other. Your time limits will determine what you can do with each other that evening. Just be sure to leave plenty of time for a long session of romance and lovemaking.
Whatever you decide to do for the evening, try to make it out of the usual. It will make the night even more fun.
Play a Sexy Bedroom Game
Playing a sexy game can add a lot to your night. Coming up with your own game can be simple. Make a paper die and write actions on each of the squares. That will take the guessing out of what you and your spouse can do. Write whatever foreplay moves you like the most. Or you can head over to my shop and check out the sexy bedroom games I’ve created over the years.
Another simple idea is to do a truth or dare game. You can write up some questions and dares ahead of time. Just make sure they are focused on being intimate with one another.
Pick The Right Room For Romance
Decide which room in your house you plan to spend your time. Create an atmosphere that you both will like. If you plan to do this during Christmas, camping out in front of your tree or the fireplace might be nice.
Of course, you need to use discretion here. Children are a real mood killer. If either of you thinks your kids are going to come out of their rooms and see you, then it might be best to stay in the bedroom.
Set Up The Room
You can set out candles or play soft mood music. If you want to spend your time on the floor, put out a blanket and pillows. Setting out hot chocolate can be fun to sip on. I personally like drinking sparkling cider on romantic nights. Whether you come up with decorations, at least try to clean up a bit before the night.
Decide What to Wear
Pick out something to wear that you will feel sexy in. It doesn’t have to be lingerie, but something you feel you look good in. I’m a pretty modest person, but I have a few shirts in my closet that I would pull out for such a night as this. It is fun for my husband to see me in clothes that I wear just for him.
Stay Relaxed and Flexible
The most important thing to remember is to have fun. Be relaxed and stay flexible with your evening. If you have a plan, be ready to deviate when necessary. Life happens! I’ve had times when I planned out a night for my husband and me, but we ended up doing things that weren’t planned.
Sometimes, all you have to do is show up in a hot outfit and be available. Whatever you decide to do with your partner for your next date night, remember it is supposed to be fun. If you hit a place where you are stressed out about everything going according to plan, take a step back. Just show up and be available.
These are just a few ideas that can get you started on coming up with a romantic night. You don’t have to wait until a holiday to put together a special night. Anytime would be well received.

Great tips. I would ping back to your mirror article. On very rare occasions that we have the whole house to ourselves, we sometimes try to integrate the mirror that we have downstairs.

That’s a great idea. Have you thought of adding a mirror in your room? Then you can experience that more often!

Haha, thanks Keelie. I do not know, it just sounds a bit too raunchy for us. A sex mirror in the bedroom. What happens if someone comes to visit, they would ask questions.

Haha, Well actually, you just put up a dressing mirror that can be moved around and no one will question it. I have one in my room and it doubles as a big jewelry case.
