Exercise 

Earn your Valentine's meal. Take your couples workouts outdoors! Body weight exercises, running, yoga.. there's so much to do that doesn't require you to be indoors at a gym. Burn some calories before you sit down for that scrumptious dinner date!

  3. Moussaka anyone?!

Volunteer 

Spend quality time together at the local animal shelter, beach clean up or soup kitchen. Nothing screams love like giving back to those who need it more. This is a great way to get to know each other more and feel good about yourselves๐Ÿ’•



Disconnect to reconnect

If possible, leave your phones at home if you're headed out or in another room in the house if you're staying in. Be present in the moment with your significant other. 



Do it in the dark
