$10 Great Dates: Connecting Love, Marriage, and Fun on a Budget >> Valentines Day Ideas!

I received this book complimentary from Bethany House Publishing for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

Doesn’t this look like a great book? I was so excited to get this because I’m always looking for fun and cheap date ideas! Saturday nights are the only time by husband and I are home together, but we are so tired from the week we usually stay home and watch a movie together.

This book is divided up into sections, like “At home great dates”, “The Great Outdoors great dates”, “Romantic great dates”, “Marriage pick me up great dates”…there are 8 chapter sections with at least 5 suggestions under each section.

Once you pick a chapter section-lets say “At home great dates”, then you pick the activity. “Game night great date” is one of the picks. Then the book presents the idea, suggestions of things to do before the date, while on the date, talking points, and the takeaway (the point) of the activity.

This book is SO ORGANIZED and has some fun suggestions! This would be a huge help to any spouse-male or female-who has a hard time coming up with ideas and/or planning.

This book would make a great Valentines Day gift! Or get it ahead of time so you can do some of the suggestions in the Romantic Dates section, like Dining Under The Stars!
