Low Energy Date Night Ideas in the Comfort of Your Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Date night doesn\u2019t have to be a night out on the town to be enjoyable. With a little creativity, you can plan the perfect low energy date night at home. This can be ideal for people dealing with the chronic illness symptoms, who may not feel comfortable going far from home.<\/p>\n

Even parents with small children can steal a few moments together to implement some of these low energy date night ideas.<\/p>\n

Relaxing Date Night Ideas At Home<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Massage<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A massage is the perfect low energy date night idea. It\u2019s also a great date idea for people with chronic pain. Let the cares of the day melt away with some soothing eucalyptus<\/strong>, lavender<\/strong>, or even a massage oil blend<\/strong>. Consider warming<\/strong> the massage oil first, as this has 2 benefits. First, it just feels good. Second, it helps to increase the flow of blood to the area being massaged.<\/p>\n

Bubble bath<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Not only does the closeness of a bubble bath promote  intimacy, but the warm water helps relieve stiff, achy joints and muscles. Throw a little lavender scented epsom salts<\/strong> in the water and now you have the ultimate twofer for dating with chronic pain.<\/p>\n

Gentle yoga session<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Improve flexibility and strength while building intimacy with this relaxing date night idea. Couples yoga allows you to get in sync with your partner, as you work together to perform poses. This fosters a deeper connection as you both must rely on and trust one another during the practice. <\/p>\n

Fondue Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Set up a fondue station and dip your favorite breads or vegetables. Or instead of cheese, try melting some chocolate, dipping your favorite fruits or treats into the melted mixture.<\/p>\n

Prepare a meal together<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Working towards a common goal together makes the final reward (eating) all the better. Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say. Not sure what to cook? Blue Apron<\/strong> takes the guesswork out of cooking with meal kits containing all the necessary ingredients. Serve by candlelight.<\/p>\n

Picnic in bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spread a blanket across the bed, or carpet if that works for you, using pillows for support. Adorn with your favorite picnic foods like sandwiches, salads or a charcuterie board<\/a><\/strong> loaded with your favorite preserved meats and cheeses. <\/p>\n

Order your favorite dessert<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Anyone out there with a sweet tooth? This is for you! You know that decadent dessert that you\u2019ve passed by at the bakery counter in your local grocer? The one loaded with chocolate or nuts or fruits or cream or whatever your passion is? Order it. Then put it on a shared plate and enjoy the moment.<\/p>\n

Fun Date Night Ideas<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Movie night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Grab a large bag of popcorn, or your preferred choice of munchies. Dim the lights, then curl up beside your honey and get ready for a movie marathon. Or you can binge watch your favorite series. With so many movie channels available you\u2019ll have no trouble finding the perfect movie to fit the occasion.<\/p>\n

Board games <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Okay, here\u2019s something I bet you didn\u2019t know. Playing board games with your significant other  helps to release oxytocin, also known as the love hormone. Oxytocin is beneficial because it\u2019s associated with feelings of empathy and trust. It can also help promote connection and bonding and increase sex drive. So by all means, play monopoly if that\u2019s your thing!<\/p>\n

Puzzles<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Believe it or not, puzzles are good relationship building tools. They promote teamwork and collaboration and increase problem-solving skills. So dust off that 500 piece puzzle that\u2019s been sitting in the closet for years and build those collaboration skills with that special person!<\/p>\n

Music Night<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Slow Dance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Take music night to another level and revive the passion with a slow dance. Slow dancing is a form of intimate, authentic communication.
